We’re consumed by the beef
we’re broiling
Earth’s lungs
to farm more cattle
we are burning every
minute the size of a football
field to breed, slit
over 40 million
throats
Lungs, logged
$Indigenous persons, the Mura tribe Jaguar Cashapona tree, the Barrigona tree
Pataxó tribe Giant Armadillo, the Parintintin tribe Harpy Eagle Strangler Fig tree
are the change
ranchers gain
but do not count
as if they own the forest
charred, already spent
Kristin Yates hopes more than space can see the price of our consumption. #ActForAmazonia
