Bad Gas

“Global warming is a grave threat to the survival of the human race.”
In the pen of the Right lawyer becomes
“Climate change may be an unsubstantiated potential ecological difficulty, which is largely left to further study and is unlikely to have any appreciable and/or noticeable effects.”
Truth blurs into politically permitted reality
As your Hummer freebases its toxic treat
Like a crackhead in a back ally way on pay-day.
But boy, aren’t you a big man
As you drive across that rugged suburban terrain?
Our leaders call this ecological gash a splinter.
When have they ever been wrong?
Bad News: band-aids can’t cure bone deep wounds.
Big Petroleum scours the globe like a spider
Hunting oil flies it can suck dry.
Venomous bombs drop on faraway lands
Where there might be a little more oil left in the soil.
Who knew we elected cowboy vampires who
Value the almighty dollar more than people
In the name of the almighty they’ve long since ignored?
Half could see the hoax.
The rest got duped by
Tel-Authorities who told them love is only between
Man and woman instead of rendering
Those things that are unto Caesar unto Caesar
Loving thy neighbor,
And following the golden rule,
And so it was done.
4 more to the oil whore
Because discursive debates
Became culture-war circuses.
Who would Jesus hate?
Maybe America’s time has come to pass,
Because the elephant is really an ass,
And the donkey couldn’t defeat the smirking chimp
Who pimped our future with the help of a roving blimp.
Watch out! We’ve reached atmospheric critical mass!
Humanity, Cause of Death: bad gas.
