Hell !

Post by saw » March 14th, 2021, 2:28 pm

twist the cap with your teeth
or bite into the closed container
there is something in there
you need to swallow, and the planet

is full of plastic rivers
detritus that is not organic
and the sand and gravel must compete
for authenticity, the silt is no longer pure decomposition

of the gifts from our mother
man has conspired with the allure of the synthetic gods
petrochemical lords , polypropylene demons with black eyes
that refuse to see inside

the guts of seabirds and seals, but I guess
man has always liked nylons on women with high heels
and the pvc rack at Home Depot is always loaded
all ready...for men with low-hanging-rear-end-trousers

and people seem ok paying for god damned water
packaged in bottles. oh man....eau de vie encased
in acrylic clear waste that man uses his dwindling money for....Hell !
granddaddy turns a little more in his grave
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

It all began with the "inventiveness" of America to strengthen our Capitalism, the Earth be damned.

She was put here by a benevolent god who gave us this singular planet to do with as we please.

That is the way we (seemingly) see it and if we don't like it... go find another planet to strip,

Ahh hum... Mars looks like some alien force already stripped that red world...

(spot on, amigo, as usual you eye sees reality)
