A Call to Alms
Take a step back
Look to the horizon
Keep your eyes on the space
Between the earth, the sky
The you and me zone.
Watch as
They bubble to the surface
Arisen from within
Forming a layer
A scum
In a conscience free circus
The mining, the drilling of minerals
The plastic revolution
Disposable animals
Tracts of pollution, haze on the spires
Crusts of delusion
Tangled in wires
Exhaust flees from
Self fulfilling thrillseekers
The average Joe
The members of parliament
Mr Speaker
In front of you is
The earth sitting on top of itself.
The symptom of lust growing
Glows on the skin
Swollen with greed
Infecting the soil
Under a dust
That poisons our kin
Scabs of glass clad factories
Nobody's houses shine brightly
Pierced with chimneys exhaling burnt offerings
Accelerate the rust
Smoking like jiminy
Endless
Unsightly
Metal horses running races on strips
Shift loads of ore
To make more
Horses, more trips
Plastic ships hauling freight to and fro
Between peoples mouths
Children's lips
Dredging for fish to fulfill the wishlists of Capitalist & co
Oceanic misfits
Catch the drift
The more we take out from under our feet less we have to stand on
Make a difference.
Reduce our footprint.
