Rosalee (death of a rain forest)

We all live in the same world, it is the only home we have but yet what is it that man is doing with that world? Destroying it bit by bit. We will never know what miracles and secrets places like our Rain Forest hold thanks to man and his ability to be so blinded by the all mighty dollar. Now this planet has finally had enough, it is fighting back, watch the evening news and you'll see this. This is my small way of protesting what we have allowed ourselves to become. Reggie

Rosalee (Death of the Rain Forest) /Rjaggers/6/2/2011

Dance while I sing sweet Rosalee
sit here with me and surrender your fashions
Come take my hand to your sweet tender breast
the waters will crest with our moments of passion
you and I were meant to be
part of this strange destiny don't ever go Rosalee
lead break
Watch as the sparrows rise and take wing
as I pluck the strings of some ancient guitar
Walk in the streams while the flowers desend
we'll talk to the moon as we gaze at the stars (chorus)
Watch as the sparrows rise and take wing
as I pluck the strings of some ancient guitar
We'll run as the mountains fall to the sea
they can't let things be it's just the nature of the beast
We'll cry as the forest falls to the ground
all hope crashes down and the magic recedes

Reg, this song is great. I totaly love the melody, you show here you are a wonderful melodist. About the purpose.. for me, the only thing that counts is optimism!

Man can be terrifying, but it can carry the light when all is lost !

As we are here, there and everywhere... if you forget me.. I come to you. And things can go with a smile again.

man is good..take care.

@Genyway So very very good to hear from my dear friend. I agree with you Eric, man is at heart good there's just a certain few that make it very hard for the rest of us but we as a people have to keep the faith and know that God will not let man destroy what he has built. Again my dear friend so good to hear from you, please stay in touch. Reg

@weeyin1155 Yes my friend you are right, we never see the light until it starts getting darker and darker and I truly believe we've waited too long this time.

Good one Reg! It's so easy for us to abuse Mother Earth. We take too much for granted. She loves us, we need to love her back.

@profwaldo Hello my friend, thank you so much for your comment. You said it very well , we are like a cancer that once it starts growing it can't be stopped. What it all boils down to is pure and simple greed from a certain few who only think of themselves and not the circumstances that will surely follow from their actions.

@TravelWithMusic thank you dear Heidi for your continued support of me and my music. Your words mean very much to me. You said it very well, we are raping this land and mother nature has finally had enough.
