Eco-Embezzlers, Environmental Swindlers

For tiny royalties, conglomerates can rip the guts out of mountains for valuable metals and minerals

The spoils of their hard work are stacked and left behind in vast piles, wherever it is convenient

And as soon as the veins are played out, the mines are abandoned and they waltz away in bankruptcy

But the earth continues to bleed heavy metals into mountain creeks for as long as we will know

Their factory fishing fleets are simply a marvel of efficient modern 24x7 industrial production

They are able to stripmine vast areas of the ungoverned open ocean at their distant masters will

They vacuum the seas for trendy seafood fads until so few are left that they are not worth targeting

And in their wake toss back dead turtles, seals, dolphins, sharks and literally tons of other bycatch

Corporate agriculture sucks deeply from fossil water aquifers which took a million years to fill

They pay nothing except to run their pumps because such water is still a so-called free good

But those lowly private citizens whose wells now run dry have to pay to dig them deeper

And those to come wont bother, since all the irreplaceable water was sprayed into the hot dry wind

Coal-fired power plants thumb their noses at that over-regulating socialist government bureaucracy

Even though their mercury emissions have been proven to damage the brains of our little children

Meanwhile, their emissions sully our skies while bringing on a cataclysmic planetary warming

But it’s all smoothed out by Clean Coal advertising, climate change denial & the Jobs & Money pitch

Meat producers stuff their inputs with 70% of all antibiotics used, to make them fatten a little faster

Thus skillfully cutting the time their tortured charges must spend in costly but horridly filthy feedlots

There’s no charge for the awful smell or fee for fattening cows on subsidized corn they cannot digest
Their massive fecal outfall fouls the waters spreading newly-mutated antibiotic-resistant organisms

Real estate developers guide our progress with bulldozers, building cookie cutter tracts & strip malls

Farmland, wetlands and open space at last become economically productive under their direction

There are no extra taxes for converting such features into more hideous and unsustainable sprawl

And their older works, now deemed commercially unattractive, are left to turn to blighted eyesores

Lobbyists for patriotic defense oligarchy contractors compete furiously for cost-plus gov’t contracts

All wanting to build the next generation of overpriced weapons of mass eco-destruction

Their bloated corporate structures sucking up vast quantities of valuable engineering talent

Their costly marketing and influence campaigns guarantee huge annual increases in defense spending

Shortsighted American consumers buy gas-guzzling pickups & SUVs by the millions when gas is cheap

They waddle obesely about, most often alone, to jobs in cubicles far smaller then their $45k trucks

The beloved 13 MPG vehicular expressions of freedom spewing 19 lbs of CO₂ per gallon of fuel wasted

Of course, they need ladders to climb in and there’s really nowhere to put their groceries

Religion urges us to <guiltlessly & thoughtlessly> take dominion over <extinguish> all of His creation

His edict to be fruitful has caused our overpopulation, destroying the natural systems we depend on

Our vain claim that we alone possess souls allows to torture & slay all the beasts of the field at will

But, no worry, no matter what we do to this earth, faith in god yields us a place in an eternal heaven

It Broke A Libtard Snowflake's Heart

Traumatized by things not even noticed by the real men of tough conservatism

Despaired over the non-stop record high temperatures and ongoing dusty, windy droughts

Lost my shit watching BigCoal CEOs refuse to remove the mercury emissions destroying baby’s brains

Felt hopeless realizing that the sacred free market priced elephants & tuna out of existence

Even got choked up at hearing all the frogs were disappearing, or getting born with extra legs

Got PTSD absorbing coverage of Islamists slaughtering pre-teen schoolgirls with automatic weapons

Gentle cows in filthy, overcrowded feedlots and bloody, inhumane slaughterhouses broke my heart

I felt really sick as Alaska burned while all the arctic permafrost melted and belched out methane

It smacked me in the gut to learn that the entire Great Barrier Reef simply bleached out and died

Devastated learning citizens still find jobs more important than the natural systems we all depend on

Depressed by the govt’s subsidizing sugar and corn for fast food and paying for the diabetes epidemic

Stunned into silence at how easily we wasted global 9-11 goodwill by invading Iraq on false pretenses

Shamed that we wont sign treaties on kids, women, land mines, cluster bombs and chemical weapons

Nauseated seeing bloated shark corpses, with their fins sawed off, just left to rot in the open seas

Realized just how lost we really are when we extinguished the tigers to make soup of their penises

Broke my heart to see salmon, key to ecological & mythical systems, dammed up and dried out

Brought to tears seeing starving polar bears drown swimming to find their melted ice hunting grounds

That joke about how free markets would compete to provide healthcare for the poor just tore me up

Got sick to my stomach seeing martyrs gunning down different sects of the same religion, at funerals

Disheartened by eternal defense spending increases even as our infrastructure rotted all around us

Dumbfounded that a being as unnatural as a radical anti-environmentalist could ever even exist

Broke my heart to see how very, very little we care that we are the cause of a global mass extinction

Shocked at our mass slaughter of brainy dolphins and mythic albatross as mere factoryfishing bycatch

Revolted by the human-created dead zone as large as Massachusetts at the mouth of the Mississippi

Haunted by the vast micro-plastic litter spinning in our ocean gyres, mistakenly eaten by microfauna

Felt alienated by their loving choice to waddle obesely about in overpriced, super-sized P/Us & SUVs

Choked on the huge portions of dishonest soundbites I was fed by all sides, from every form of media

Stung by the rejection of sustainability as mere foolishly-useless, liberal, unpatriotic, sinful nannying

Completely deflated by our attraction to royal political families and bombastic media demagogues

Hurt by the abandonment of rationality in favor of shouted soundbites & a loudly-proud ignorance

Felt betrayed by the wanton alienation of our allies in a rush to make ourselves great again, all alone

Sickened at the notion that this vast destruction we label progress must continue indefinitely, amen

Broke my heart to see them struggle on $1 a day as we idled for fast food, in air-conditioned comfort

Came unglued hearing that every year is always the hottest ever and that our people really dont care

Dumbfounded by our legislators utter failure to address any issue that might cost votes on either side

Disgusted by that bloated corporate healthcare industry draining 20% of GDP, yet still failing millions

Broke my heart seeing how senseless, worn-out religions still drive believers to righteous slaughters

When They Finally Knew

100 yards out he knew they would leave the gravel road to go flying off down into the ponderosas

as she was read the test results she felt the thoughtless life she had always known slip away forever

while they were lowering her father into the earth she realized suddenly that she was next in line

when he could no longer jog he became aware that his possibilities were forever strictly decreasing

glancing up from her call she saw the oncoming semi just before it intruded deep within her vehicle

seeing that bright light he still had one moment to remember that it meant he was passing away

helping to inter his firefighting brother he gained a terminal empathy that would never leave him

as the plane tumbled so rapidly to earth each one of them had far too long to imagine the conclusion

though they said he died instantly they could never know exactly how his consciousness had fled

for several seconds after his decapitation his eyes still saw & his brain still functioned – And he knew

the sensation of a crushing weight on his chest induced a well-founded & prophetic sense of doom

T-boned & launched from his cycle he felt cool air on his helmetless head before striking the pole

As her car filled with water she struggled to find a way out in the rapidly-shrinking air pocket

They saw the flash as a suicide bomber was remotely detonated directly in front of their tea stand

He watched, stunned, as the shooter took out several of his friends and then turned towards him

The morphine slowly overtook him and he knew this would be his last trip under – and it was OK

Grandmother grew quite calm as she somehow involuntarily accepted that her time had come at last

As a 3 year old, the approach of death under anesthesia was just another in a series of tiring dreams

The old dog lifted a tired head just in time to see the muzzle flash of his owner’s shotgun in his face

After months of unremitting pain he realized that it would never cease - at least while he was alive

Things slowly faded out given the uncontrolled bleeding induced by the IED which had taken his legs

She found herself looking down from above the table upon which they worked so feverishly upon her

After the shooting he lay surrounded by homies but the sound of the approaching ambulance dimmed

She did notice as something snapped inside her chest as the burly EMT began performing CPR on her

True Confessions: I Meant to Say That

Sure I knew my numbers guys cooked the books to pump up our stock so we could get more bonuses

We were aware that we were sucking out everyone’s precious underground water for free, to waste

No, I’m not sorry I called you an overpaid, incompetent, quota-filling, untouchable under-performer

Well, we did realize that every untested chemical we put in our products could not be as safe as milk

I was indeed quite aware that on various occasions I had misstated facts and misrepresented myself

As they signed the contract I breathed a sigh of relief over the pertinent omissions in my sales talk

Even before we ratified that treaty we had already laid our plans to dishonestly circumvent its intent

Actually, our post-police shooting riot was more about free liquor & electronics than racial injustice

We really did just say anything we were told, without any qualms, if it just helped us win an election

I honestly stated that I was very eager to clear my name, but that I had No comment on the matter

You know that time I cursed you out? I still mean every single foul phrase - Exactly as I spoke then

Yes, I’m certain that Political Correctness is mere cover for the passive-aggressive, lazy & entitled

Sure I guiltlessly played the system I condemned for all it was worth and never even tried to repair it

I did question holding the door for equally-paid female co-workers leaving early again - For their kids

Yes, we admit that we are not scientists but we also declare their research inconclusive & inaccurate

I did not misspeak at all when I eloquently and emotionally defended my previous prevarications

It was not a setup when they caught me living large off the donations from my tearful non-profit

It absolutely was not merely a shameful & one-time only moral lapse to sell my influence to lobbyists

Nobody hacked my account to contain pictures of myself with those naked young altar boys

When they caught me doing drugs with prostitutes it wasn’t the first time and…I really loved it!

You bet I really mean it every time I laugh and say we should bomb the shit out of those damn ayrabs

We sure as hell should abolish the EPA and give over all federal lands to developers, drillers & ATVs

It was no oversight that BigAg destroyed the topsoil, polluted the waters & poisoned the songbirds

Yes, we fought removing brain-damaging mercury from coal plant emissions - To keep our profits up

Certainly we scorned as ignorant imbeciles, all those losers who bought our giant overpriced pickups

I knew my client was guilty of all charges but I still got him off on an inane technicality, for a fat fee

No, I mean it: You are slow, ignorant & nasty & totally deserving of your healthcare bankruptcy

We do actually believe that the best solution to gun violence is for everyone to be armed 24x7x365

I’ll even say it again, immigrants absolutely must learn English or provide their own damn translators

Let me repeat: the unintelligent & uneducated who bristle with canned attitudes are useless losers

I really do believe we are an exceptionist people, solely entitled to the phrase ‘God Bless America!’

We actually do push an inane lie that free market healthcare would compete for the old, sick & poor

Be advised: We are righteous about spying upon all of your private activities in absolute secrecy

You can be sure I did not mean a word of the apology I was forced to make for political correctness

We really do want a border wall & to deport the illegales even as we open our arms to all Latinos

Yes, we meant to call you Moochers while we demanded your vote to save you from the Libtards

Yup: onct were all a buncha skinny, tired vegans that vast liberal conspiracy takeovr’ll be a lot easier

I Never Grew Up & I Ain’t Ashamed

Never outgrew my boyish love of those loud exhaust pipes filling the air with their thick, black smoke

The noise and smell of any type of explosives from firecrackers to AK-47s still quickens my heart

Drivin my giant diesel pickup all alone reminds me of my bug-eyed boyhood lovea big red firetrucks

Don’t need to spend time studying the issues any more than I needed to pay any attention in school

Like always, if it tastes good like hot dogs I’ll eat it and to hell with your squirrelly rabbit health food

I still get my kicks watching the big boys knock hell out of each other and now I lay on my own couch

Them intrusive gov’t over-regelaters sure do remind me of my stupid elementary school teachers

I’m living proof that kids don’t have to read books all the dam time to get ahead here in the USA

I’m still being socialized by television, only now it’s good old Faux News instead of just kids TV ads

As the super-rich taught us – being greedy is really just the patriotic pursuit of individual happiness

Yup, and that share and share alike business? That’s just tired socialist pabulum for the Moochers

My lifetime selfishness is still right as rain in this survival of the fittest world we all have to live in

Still running wild and free out in the woods, only now I’m on my dirt bike, snowmobile or ATV

Was taught to put women up on a pedestal so I’m still quite respectful of them topless table dancers

Even though the nannies have always tried to take them all away, I love my guns more than ever now

Thanks to many years spent playing War, I’m ready to bomb the shitake outta any country in our way

When I put on my $200 official NFL jersey I often think back on the boyhood sports I almost played

I only wish we could still beat the crap out of the queers and geeks for fun, just like we used to

My daddy taught us how to fish and I really love going out in my 300 hp bass boat with a case of beer

I’ll tell you what, my dam checking account is as empty as that lame piggy bank ever was - & it’s OK!

I still hate asparagus, broccoli and that type of sh*t, but now I don’t have to eat it to get my dessert

Yup, and I graduated from teeny cans of coke to them 44 oz Big Gulps I always watched Daddy drink

I never liked cleaning up my bedroom so now I leave whatever I want to, out in the front yard

And aint nobody gonna make me go do like calisthenics or any st00pid exercising no more, no how

It’s totally clear now that I never did need to give a dam about all them whatever hindis & fukistanis

And the greenies still cant tell me - What has any stinking polar bear ever done for me?

I put my trash back to the earth just like I always did – I dump it all wherever I’m done with it

People shouting & fighting remain far more interesting than whatever boring reasonable discussions

Now I can carry on anytime, as loud as I want with my bros, specially when we’re havin a few beers

Dont have to wait fer $XMAS ta go charge off whatever new electronic or 4x4 goodie I really want

Still don’t see any reason ta spend half my dam life brushing my teeth or even ever go to the dentist

And I’m as badass as ever despite the bum knees, twisted shoulder, pre-diabetes and sore back

Listen, I really don’t care if I cain’t never figger out the change I got coming from a $20 bill

I still don’t give a dam about whatever 25% off actually means, cuz I know a good deal when I see it

I’ve never forgotten the fact that I am a very entitled citizen of an extremely exceptionist people

And my ideals of jesus christ and His paradise that awaits me are jest as clear now as they ever been

The Way We Weren't

And, Unfortunately, it's not my legacy, either

Aware of the vast emptiness surrounding us, we carefully manage & protect our fragile life capsule

We all know we must preserve the complex and interrelated systems which support our very survival

All of us realize it took literally billions of years to prepare our life-sustaining travel environment

Everyone is aware how razor thin is the clear atmosphere that separates us from deadly empty space

No one would question protecting our finite and precious water stores from waste and pollution

Our children learn from tender ages of the incredible wonder of this tiny sphere that supports us

In preserving it, we know we protect ourselves, and yet, we know we are still fallible in this respect

Therefore, we monitor earthly systems with the same care we lavish upon our own tiny space probes

We orbit our sun as it moves around the Milky Way as it travels through a vast & expanding universe

Our duty is to ensure generations invisible in the future come to witness what we cannot now foresee

We would never dream of tinkering with the chemical composition of the only air we all must breath

Aware of the disastrous effects our own overpopulation would bring on, we self-regulate our numbers

No one would dream of sacrificing any of our finite resources just to turn a quick & one-time profit

Our free market does not permit consumer demand to drive fellow traveling species to extinction

In our economic model, profitability must always include environmental sustainability costs

We all know we cannot afford to choke ourselves to death upon our own wastes and emissions

Our oceans are not common spaces, open for everyone to foul and abuse without any responsibility

It would be unthinkable for anyone to mine precious metals using toxic chemicals & then walk away

Consumer water, energy and trash costs increase with their usage as economic disincentives

Manufacturers matter-of-factly take responsibility for their packaging as well as worn out products

War is not an option due to its horrible effects on every side’s one and only earthly survival shelter

Private citizens assiduously monitor vital local air, water & soil conditions, all around the globe

Knowing non-renewable petroleum-based plastics pose long-term threats, there is no such litter

Our forests are tended as carefully as our gardens & the deserts are as clean as our own backyards

Agriculture is not the province of greedy CEOs abusing H₂O, pesticides & fertilizer - Just for bonuses

Government doesn’t pay for diseases caused by chemical-laden food full of subsidized sugar & fat

Domestic animals are not factory input whose production wastes precious resources & fouls the earth

Our scientists are not ridiculed by politicians and their media for research contrary to corpro-donors

Anti-environmentalism is seen as a rare & bizarre form of suicidal tendency and treated accordingly

No Back-To-Nature movement will ever stir us, for we have never lost our place in the order of things

From an early age we are all aware of the finite provisions we carry with us on this cosmic journey

Thus, we carefully conserve wild places to preserve clean water, good air and a sustaining biome

We know we were not assigned to take dominion over all creation by a god of our own imagination

We don’t know if we possess eternal souls but realize that all creatures either do, or do not

None of us assign to His mysterious ways the lack of meaning for the tragic events that must occur

We all sense our capsule’s incredible tininess & fragility in the scale of the eternal infinite void

Arm All Our Children, All The Time!

- But still, watch out for terrorists wearing suicide vests and truck bombers, too

TV doctors will recommend that parents tuck in infants with a sidearm cradled in their tiny fingers

Pre-school graduation shall be federally mandated to include earning a concealed carry permit

All kindergartners must drill on opening up in unison on fellow student shooters in their classrooms

The NRA shall set national standards for training & equipping children to counter school massacres

Gun lobby research will show deranged shooters will kill fewer when all potential victims are armed

One entitlement we certainly can afford is to ensure that no child is left...without a working firearm

And the security check at the school gate will guarantee that each toddler arrives locked & loaded

Target practice will be a mandatory part of our schools renewed physical education curriculum

When children get big enough, they can begin carrying assault rifles on their school backpacks as well

Proper training at home and school ensures that kids will never shoot each other over minor disputes

Our offspring won’t play with guns: Theirs will be serious training to help ensure domestic tranquility

Immediate mass youth justice for using firearms in illegal activity will cut our crime rate way down

Community playgrounds will be upgraded to have mini shooting ranges for our liberty-minded tykes

Inner-city youths will also take part, unless they are killed using their guns to commit crimes

8 year old girls can play house with new scenarios in which they neutralize nasty dollhouse invaders

Boys can play-practice sacrifice, taking a bullet in order to get off a kill shot on a schoolroom shooter

Designers will create pink guns with flowers anodized on the barrel to charm elementary school girls

Kids will clamor for the coolest fall fashions in all-day bullet-proof vests prior to every school year

Teens can really set themselves apart with their selection of death-metal weaponry and body armor

A huge youth market will open up for personalized weapons & ammo, much like tattoos and piercings

Families out for dinner can all lay their weapons out on the table where they’re easy to grab & fire

See the happy kids riding their bikes safely to school all by themselves, each one packing heavy lead

Kids down to Wal*Mart with their moms are ever ready to neutralize any threat with deadly force

Santa’s traditional outfit includes a nice wide leather belt - With a shiny .45 in a quick access holster

See the little ones bow their heads in hardened churches, each one armed against potential infidels

They are drilled to duck & roll, lie very still & play dead until they can safely return a deadly fire

Families stroll malls in patrol formation, alert to the clear & present threat of the armed & deranged

See them in a grocery cart, already scanning left & right for the odd mentally-deranged sharpshooter

Kids from good families caught out unarmed with friends will only be given a warning – The first time

Schools, churches & rec centers will be provided with weapons caches for active shooter situations

Going steady teens can exchange personalized gender-themed weapons for all their friends to see

Little libertarians everywhere will do parents proud with a perpetually-armed & angry preparedness

The oft-heard sound of automatic weapon fire will draw trained, armed kids in, like moths to a flame

Why, our children will grow up hearing so much live ammunition that they’ll be quite calm under fire

Those few, unavoidable, psychotic mass killings cannot alter our wise commitment to universal arms

So, onward for cradle to grave, 24x7x365, universal, heavily-armed, law-abiding citizen self-defense

There’s Nothing To Be Afraid Of

Don’t worry, your kids wont ever get any coal-fired mercury in their tender, developing young brains

None of the thousands of unregulated, manmade chemicals in our environment are actually harmful

Take it easy, you’re not likely to get one of those increasingly-common but incurable MRSA infections

Relax, they’ll get around to fixing the roads, dams, bridges, electric, water & internet real soon now

You’re going to have plenty of retirement savings to ensure great happiness during your golden years

There’s no way that you’ll be one of those forced into bankruptcy by obscenely huge healthcare bills

Stop fretting that Muslim fanatics will ever again kill thousands here in this, the land of the free

Just you keep on eating the stuff you really like and don’t worry about the calories or the ingredients

Listen, that climate change thing…It’s not going to affect you in the very least, so just forget about it

Chill out man, you can start exercising anytime, but Hey, it’ll never really come down to that…

Yeah, there’ll always be plenty of good, clean drinking water, even if it does all come out of bottles

No, no, no! – Our consumer choices do not deny our precious children their full & glorious potentials

Whoa there partner, they’re never going to peel that semi-automatic out of your cold, dead fingers

Nobody & I mean No-Body, is going to force you to live on carrots, kale, tofu, rice, beans & weak tea

Calm down, they can’t make you take part in that worthless, messy, time-consuming recycling scam

Not to worry – You’ll be able to glory in all your fav team’s triumphs in HD - From up there in heaven

Slow down, neighborhood fracking yields a virtuous energy independence, without any health threats

It’s OK, terrorists aren’t going to burst into your little girl’s classroom with AK47s blazing for Allah

No need to panic, the stock market is quite safe and very profitable, in the, umm, really long run…

Well, of course your kids are always going to like you – As long as you uncritically pay for everything

Don’t be afraid, UN black helicopters aren’t coming in the night to steal our precious sovereignty

You needn’t ever concern yourself with the future of the poor, bastard kids you saved from abortion

Look, even though they call you Moochers, they alone still have only your best interests at heart

Now, now, now, just you wait and see what happens to those sinful LGBTs from up in your heaven

No need to get upset just because all the world’s fisheries have already crossed the brink of collapse

Those giant whatever ocean gyres circulating tons of plastic trash? Not a threat to your happy family

It’s all right, this manmade global mass extinction going on all around isn’t coming to your back yard

Ease up, Mom. Your kids don’t need to read & write to claim their role as tomorrow’s world leaders

Chillax pal, swarms of refugees won’t ever be trundling their filthy belongings down your street

Mellow out, you’ve got lots of time for those things that really matter that you’ve put off for so long

Don’t be anxious – elected leaders heed your letters, not just their massive corporate donor’s dollars

We’re not going to stop spending half a trillion$ per year on defense anytime soon, so lighten up

Simmer down folks, your mothers breast milk is not actually contaminated with manmade hormones

There’s no substance whatever to their utter blasphemy that human overpopulation threatens us all

That’ll never be you there, lying all pale & rumpled, with tubes going in and out & eyes shrunken in

Kick back, stop & smell the roses, live for today, for tomorrow never comes & you wont have to pay

They Would Never...Right?

Each unbelievably-foolish and insane new revelation enables the next, even more incredible barbarism to take place

Surely CEOs don’t actually believe that they’re worth 373 times what their average employee makes

Folks would not knowingly consume enough sugar, fat, salt and chemical additives to kill themselves

Companies wouldn’t put hormone-mimicking chemicals in cosmetics & then refuse to remove them

Nobody modifies a pickup computer just to spew clouds of diesel smoke on the hybrids behind them

The government would have no real reason to track all of our communications – In absolute secrecy

The Unholy Triad: Unintelligence, Ignorance & Attitude

Scorned be those who are at once alternatively-gifted, lack an education and yet, still bristle loudly with unassailable attitude

Unintelligence

All of us are very gifted in some manner, but mostly in ways that society has not found a profitable and thus, economically valuable, use for. Intelligence tests are full of cultural bias and still only measure a narrow range of human capabilities. One’s IQ also bears no relation to their morality, kindness, citizenship or grace.

Ignorance

Anyone deprived of a decent education, intelligent or not, will suffer from ignorance. In fact, all of us are ignorant on infinitely more subjects than those for which we can claim knowledge. Any education which fosters critical thinking reduces the perils of ignorance when facing novelty, advertising or politicians.

Attitude

A ruthless honesty combined with a lack of tact, though abrasive, can cut straight to the truth. Merely being politically incorrect is not some form of immorality, as backbiting sheep would have us believe. The impatient & those quick to anger are, quite often, among our very highest performers.

But: Let it be known:

The constant loud, proud and uncritical mouthing of indisputable and unquestioned beliefs by those

low in the form of intelligence required for rational thinking and deprived of a proper education cannot be reasoned with and is seriously difficult to interact with.
