Earth day 2020 – Wednesday, April 22

Bajillion banshees scream bloody murder methought

upon Biblical (lionized) forebears stalking heads

birthed courtesy accursed beasts hood besought

winds howl across the oblate spheroid

methinks courtesy Homo sapiens horror wrought.

Climate change/global warming siren song

Adam event since time immemorial against

sacred covenant doing Mother Nature wrong

April 21st waning hours warn us King Kong

antithetical, egotistical, & heretical caretakers

over populated quintessential rowdy sinning

rawbit & powdermilk biscuit munching throng.

Antiestablishmentarian gambit voiced, I tootle

(albeit figuratively), and feign playing trumpet

challenging when born with submucous palate

lamely feeble attempt made tinkering with words

aware crushing humanity legacy takes Herculean

effort to implement global revolution, staging &

coaching proselytizers to shine klieg lights where

industrialization tattooed unseemly sights land

once (unimaginably) pristine acres irrevocably

repurposed into grotesque disfigured terra firma.

Fifty years ago come

the morrow witnessed zee

first metaphorical telescoping

lens zooming close

far more horrible than

"fake" special effects we

as collective species

impacted planet harkening

back when nasty, short

and brutish proto humans

mastered steely ironic

mettle to fell one after tree

after another, I need

not axe the question if queasy

induced state imagined

envisioning yourself, née

Pandora's box (purported

inventiveness) suddenly vaulted

and unhinged inkling,

when beastie boys plus goo

goo dolls loosed goods

no longer under lock & key

i.e. raw materials to fashion,

whatever struck fancy

re: innately "gifted"

descendent afforded momentary

recognition (nameless

naked apes) that hit upon idea

way manifold generations

before iconic light bulb lit

western civilization taming

current of (ohm my dog)

flow of electrons to supply

amp pulley charging electricity

countless intervenvening

millennium one after another

survival of the fittest likely

accidentally melded insight

with (then) near infinite

natural resources labored away.

Unbeknownst, when chance

cerebral serendipity gave way

where inchoate deliberation,

how ardent smarts applied today

gave dawn of consciousness

quantum leap launching landlubbers

thrust into the seven seas eventually

marshalling routes to unknown,

nevertheless pirated quay

zee whirled wide watery web

long ago hushing nay

saying doubting Thomas

(English muffin chomping chap),

especially at financing

and cost courtesy bourgeoisie

yacht ta yacht ta yacht ta.
