No good deed goes without
some type of recompense
Go
question a soundbite maxim you’ve always simply parroted: You’ll
get laughed at and belittled
Donate
millions for rhinos & elephants but ivory poaching will remain
profitable until they’re
all dead
Work
late nites preparing as a new teacher just to learn how school alone
cannot save your students
Watch
how after decades of work on diseases, ignorant vaccination
superstitions bring them all back
Your
football & golf viewing decreased slightly but real men
still learn
sports stats, not new job skills
Some
stopped idling giant pickups thru fastfood takeout lanes – To
waddle in for a couple of LottoTix
The
snack food aisles might even get a little less crowded, but only if
you can’t buy cookies on SNAP
The
uninsured swarm for way-overdue free treatment by rich dentists - who
need the tax write-offs
That
evil BigAg is ruining our soils! Excuse me, I
need to go spray pesticide, fertilize & water my yard
Your
civic-minded tissue donation gives free raw materials to a profitable
cosmetic surgery supplier
Hard-earned
contributions to worthwhile causes line the pockets of slick
non-profit entrepreneurs
Buy
a quiet green hybrid & they’ll gleefully blow clouds of
chipped-diesel smoke back
in your face
Your
clan loyalty is co-opted by corporate sports, factory beer &
extruded snacks of sugar, fat & salt
Fossil fuel puppets easily repudiate solid scientific research using catchy lies & snarky-grin sarcasm
Fossil fuel puppets easily repudiate solid scientific research using catchy lies & snarky-grin sarcasm
As
you try to rid your diet of industrial toxins they oblige with clever
false advertising & higher prices
Put
away a little bit every week while those who don’t get even more
new credit - Post-bankruptcy!
Write
your congressman all the letters you want but…they only heed their
anonymous Corpro-donors
Dutifully
recycle
everything while libertarians pickle such garbage
in their family toxins: At
the dump
You
can join the Sierra Club but you’ll always still find new bandit
ATV trails in your favorite places
Take
your kids on their first fishing expedition but don’t forget: The
catch is too full of poisons to eat
Respond
to your innate need to faith & get fleeced by greedy and horny
Religion Sales Executives
Question
massive unaudited dEfense spending and be branded as a weak,
unpatriotic, vegan
coward
Ask
about trying to break the cycle of poverty and get scorned as a
foolish & out-of-touch snowflake
Protest
neighborhood fracking with other families & have your concerns
whitewashed & ignored
You
can go low-flush but there’s no
political will to address the oncoming global water shortage
Spend
all your minuscule free time with the kids, but Big Media still
dominates their socialization
Poll
pro-environment while the leaders you elected gleefully gut
all such agencies & their regulations
Safely
dispose of pesticides but get poisoned by the toxins in your car
seats, couches & mattresses
Fret
over our long-ignored infrastructure decay but just sigh as so much
publicity goes to LGBT
issues
Own
a dozen guns but be unable to protect your family against obesity,
heart disease and ignorance
Ignore
our vast food animal holocaust but don't let one multi-gen single
welfare mom prevent
a birth
Proudly
display pink ribbons but let those gross prostate cancer
sufferers languish in shamed silence
Don’t
even whisper that all families & no single parents
should be licensed before having kids
Just
try to discuss a single payer healthcare system & be
branded as a tax & spend, socialist nanny
Ask
why capitalism drove us into a mass extinction and they will all know
that you really are crazy
Question
the reality of God’s mysterious, but horrible & unfair, plan
for us all & you shall go to hell!
