Environment. by Ben Gunn


Tiny little dots
is
what
we boil down to,
an infinitesimal speck,
amidst an enormous wreck.

And it's not

because someone said "No!"

to the
treaty
of Kyoto

 But
because greed keeps us jabbing
that button marked
"self distruct"

it's too late.

Our future generations
are
fucked.

I wish it were different
and we were to be blessed
but our only true god
is self interest.
