Nihilistic Tendencies

As economic discourse is aligned

With various toxic fumes not smelling sweet

as dying polar bears become the treat

of plankton munching on bears now resigned.

So, let’s all find a way we can unwind –

Others can work fortuitous and fleet

While we suck further on our trust fund’s teat.

No, we are not committed nor consigned.

Saviors of this earth we’ll not portray –

We’ll not look deeper in the looking glass.

Go hug your trees and pick a juicy kumquat

If economic growth makes earth an ashtray

Don’t look to me as someone to harass;

there’s nothing we can do – we took our shot.
