RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS
Enemies of the Earth
Once there was a highest court
That cared about the air and water
The planet was our mother
The water was her daughter
But now the court is dark and grim
Guided by the holy dollar
The prospects of the planet dim
They care little for the land
As we stand before them pleading
The justices demand:
How much are you worth?
Bow down before your betters
The enemies of the earth
We bring a plague of shadows
We breathe a curse of hell
Our evil hearts begin to show
Sound warnings, ring the bells!
Who cares if skies grow darker?
What counts a million lives?
We’ve passed another marker
As corporate profits rise
To a generation of mutations
We will inevitably give birth
The future will remember us
The enemies of the earth
