OIL & WATER

do not mix(like poetry and politics)
water wars are fought with the viscosity of petrol bombs
Terrorists of nature wage war with waste
damage to earth inevitable as Armageddon
Jobs in Hell for stokers of furnaces
Employment bedevils the argument
Can we live any longer off fossil fuel remainders?
Bicycle babies with titanium implants
cry for the SUVs sucking resources
Pedestrians puzzled by truck size/hit
upon zones where human beings have free speech
We are in this boat (earth)together-
Titanic debt ,Marie Celeste floating
Surface tensions wall us apart /our art
is blessing the waters-oil spills
Exxon Valdez Gulf between PR and profits
Pages fill with images censored/distracted
we forget we cannot drink oil/made of water
we cannot walk on fire/companies temporary
bound contractually to shareholders hungry
demand dinosaurs dance death decadence
as species become extinct as polar icecaps and bears
we walk,and cycle,slow down ,drink this in-
We are the waters we are blessing
