Incumbent onus to stem tide of global warming

Plethora of humans (think overpopulation)

directly linkedin to planet Earth dire strait

re: environmental catastrophe, née debacle

teeters along brink tipping point inevitably

pitching civilization headlong into oblivion

Homo sapiens (minus those living off grid)

admirably self sufficient unto themselves,

perhaps ecological intentional community

while yours truly, one guilt ridden scrivener

laments impacting minimal carbon footprint

(courtesy these thankful little feet size nine+)

nonetheless psychological torment wracks

lovely bones garden variety/generic human

specifically comprising complex edifice me

Matthew Scott Harris riven with loathsome

abomination, constipation, indignation, et al

mustered, tethered, yoked into capitalistic,

commercialistic, consumeristic ditto et alia

versus altruistic holistic, simplistic again re:

call synonymous words regarding contrast

between belching, exhausting, and polluting

(naming three adjectives describing impact

predominantly nsync with prophetic albeit,

profit oriented profligate, profane paradigm

unleashing immense global carbon emissions

Impossible mission to uncouple accountability,

(no matter minuscule - veritable drop within

figurative bucket when quantity contrasted/

compared alongside industrial waste courtesy

major corporations), yet helplessness prevails

survival (mine) inextricably bound trappings

twenty first century allow, enable, and provide

 

exploiting even dollop so called nonrenewable

resources, I could sacrifice corporeal entity -

body, mind and spirit within eyeblink exhales

last breath before becoming repurposed - inert

cremated ashes randomly scattered across all

points encompassing terrestrial world wide web.

 

Obituary -

Despite havoc primate species did wreak

from the afterlife I figuratively speak

and applaud millennials whose peak

performance accorded courtesy

your token "aged hippie,"


and long haired pencil necked geek,

whose disembodied spirit

now volunteers as Halloween sideshow freak

incorporating gallows humor tongue in cheek.
