Why on Earth
the deceit
on our grandchildren
fabricated ways of
thinking it's easier if we pretend
blind
smoke on the horizon
smells bitter, far from sweet
levels of carbon dioxide 1969 in atmosphere 330ppm
standard of living by gross world product 12 000 billion dollars
population 3, 616, 108, 749 leaves 3 318 dollars per capita
child and the candy char, only given one
char and the child with adult gone out of the building
instead of hitting
we slaughter our children
how on Earth
lake can vanish in the mind of a child
and in the eyes closed by adult
bubble bath bay no child would ever go
no adult has seen
stings the stink of chemicals
trees awe and weep
waters move in shivering agony
level of carbon dioxide 1989 in atmosphere 358ppm
as man made march of money goes on
standard of living by gross world product 26 500 billion dollars
population 5, 230, 452, 409 leaves 5 066 dollars per capita
the obesity of greed
once considered a cardinal sin(s)
where to put the stuff we buy and buy and
buy...and have to buy a bigger house
impatience of a child seem infectious to adults
building up money based careers upon the
principalities of lust for more
land of ice is land of ice
never change, the glaciers, only melt
in children's mind
dreamful role plays of queens of ice
and behind back
turned by
adults
car tends to provide you with overwhelming heat when
one turns off air conditioning on sunny day
when windows are closed -
this planet is a car
how on Earth
is it so hard to see even if eyes closed
feel the heat
in the car
level of carbon dioxide 2009 in the atmosphere 390ppm
lot is only a lot in comparison to what
we had, greed is always more and
plenty will turn into too few
standard of living by gross world product 58 500 billion dollars
population 6, 834, 721, 933 leaves
8 559 dollars per capita
deserts are flooding, expansionists
forests are falling, down
and burning
erosion, hurricanes, massive raining, too hot, too cold, typhoons,
flooding, snow not falling, ice is melting, cities polluted, heatwaves,
cars, coal plants, unnecessary things we buy and buy and buy and throw
away, non-recycling behavior, deeds we do in everyday life, the
politicians we elect, shame on else not, shame on ourselves, country
by city by block by house by people, it is the individual choice we make
every day
normally when one hears sirens
the help is on its way
past times ruined land saw rats
leaving the sinking ship
rats find there way
to survive any maze
except
the caged one
even a child can understand sirens
mean trouble and
need to fulfill the aid forsooth
adults are touching the air
between the bars
even blind man can feel them
the cold
amounts of carbon dioxide in future rises, more people inhabit
the still beautiful planet, we'll get richer the more and richer some more
the standard of living
not by dollars
as we toss the place in flames and
tell the sirens to take it easy
?
how on Earth
