Looking out over the skeleton trees, I contemplate my fate.
Everything around here is changing: the forests are thinning out;
Things once proud are disappearing.
Madagascar.
Our home. Our womb. Our habitat.
Our precious sanctuary is
Under threat. I can feel it slipping slowly away like the whispering embers
of a dying fire.
Remember us, else memories will be all you have.
