Let homo sapiens envision eco friendly infrastructure

rew4er2nail

Radical planet friendly measures

equals earning kudos as unsung hero

(think environmental/carbon footprint)

nearly absolute zero

while global population quarantine

suspension of civil rights

would never fly with trumpeting pharaoh.

 

Since United States economically crippled

(as well rest of world wide web)

courtesy coronavirus fallout rippled

analogous, whereby Mother Earth

(Gaia's) motley crew psyches stippled.

 

Golden nugget opportunity whence

twenty first century man/womankind

can make figurative about face

humanity undergoes tense

fossil fuel powered civilization

 

intricate tapestry doth unwind

(COVID-19) wreaking havoc

among flu fighting village people

constituting human race

shifting radical paradigm

 

toward renewable resources

alas me dogmatic karma credit

thinks green new deal

(Paine fully) common sense

to any doubting Thomas

 

since global governments

currently flattened, gutted,

hobbled, immobilized, jackknifed

martial law restricts

impugns verity capitalistic

 

(re: cannibalistic planetary exploitation)

acquiescing higglety pigglety

free for all

(Alfred E. Neuman wannabes) madcap

(spy versus spy chase

 

explicit green lighting

global (fiery red) desecration rents

linkedin multitude innocent

flora and fauna violently asunder

ethos predicated upon

 

vandalistic, monopolistic, capitalistic...

manifest destiny codas enshrined

no matter indigenous tribes genocide

horrifically did erase

place names benign injustice

 

underestimates true value

native peoples legacy

impossible mission feebly

conjuring bloody events

sacred treaties scotched, revoked, quashed...

 

accentuating death sentence signed

obliterating rightful heirs amazing grace

storied proud nations traduced

as agents provocateur

cruelly prodded to adopt

 

offense and/or defense

inevitably pushed off their sacred lands

today their abysmal existential nihilistic crisis

crushing, damning, punishing... poverty

testament how third eye blind

turned away s as to avoid witnessing

tears for fears etching staind face.
