THE MURDER OF CHICO MENDES

Chico Mendes was a rubber tapper a simple man who lived a simple life,
content under the tarp of his beautiful rainforest with his children and
his wife, as the forest fell at a staggering rate under a chainsaw oiled
with greed, he bravely stepped up with the few others who dared to
help this fellow creature in need.
He never backed down even after he received anauncio, he’d say
something like if you have to die for what you believe in you should be proud to go, so he worked hard to bring the worlds attention to this
catastrophe, until the dogs finally cut him down like another rainforest
tree.
The murder of Chico Mendes seems so typical of this world, people will
kill cheat and swindle anywhere the green flag of money is unfurled,
now hundreds have died in this particular war of dollars and sense, but
I’m so afraid that Chico and all the others died at there own expense.
