RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Enemies of the Earth
Destroyers of the rain forest
From the Amazon to the Artic
Vampires of life on earth
Pirates of exploitation
It begins with logging
Clear cutting vast swaths of forest
Trees older than any nation
Wiped from the planet
To make way for corporate agriculture
Which in turn gives way to drilling for oil
Mining for precious metals
Injecting the earth with chemicals
Until the once fertile soil
Becomes a toxic wasteland
Unfit for human or animal habitation
Now comes urban development
Concrete towns and cities
That choke the good earth
Where the forest used to be
A crime against nature
A crime against the planet
And all life forms it sustains
Bolsonaro, British Petroleum
ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical…
Enemies of the earth
A legacy of destruction
