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

Nobody in their right mind would run amok creating new AWD trails in everyone’s national forests

We would never let our electric, water, internet, dam and road infrastructure go third world, Right?

No one could be stupid enough to believe that a helmet law violates their sacred personal freedom

The righteous could not deny a poor, unwed teen birth control and totally ignore her innocent child

Big Coal would have quickly halted mercury emissions if it were found they even might hurt your kids

Kindly frackers simply wouldn’t contaminate any of our water with secret but carcinogenic chemicals

Congressmen are not sucking up to bribing lobbyists & campaign donors while ignoring all our letters

Western states wouldn’t foolishly agree to share way more Colorado River water than actually exists

Having everyone armed everywhere, all the time really isn’t the only way to stop mass murders, is it?

Fossil fuel oligarchs don’t use the identical tactics & lawyers as Big Tobacco - Against climate change

No way would an aggrieved minority loot liquor & electronics stores and call it a civil rights protest

No true leaders would demand fabricated evidence to go to war & later claim they were misinformed

Our Jeffersonian ideals regarding political service will always prevent elected royal families here

Surely there is no place for twisted political pettifoggery regarding globally-vetted climate research

No god could demand that His faithful burst into innocent girl’s classrooms with their AK-47s blazing

Our duty to be fruitful & multiply could not result in our destructive & unsustainable overpopulation

God’s edict that we be good stewards of the earth precludes us ever causing a global mass extinction

Doctors wouldn’t order extra tests to cover their legal butts and to grab extra Fee For Service money

Of course we will not totally destroy all the earth’s food-producing topsoil within the next 60 years

Big Pharma would never try to influence studies on their new drugs - Even though they pay for them

Not even the most devout Jihadi would pray to get closer to Allah thru the rape of a 12 y/o sex slave

None of us could be base enough to get rich scamming our revered seniors out of their life savings

BigAg stewards simply would not overapply water, pesticides & herbicides - Just to pump stock prices

Real estate professionals never knowingly omit important details or gloss over potential problems

Our wise CEOs take a far longer perspective than the quarterly stock price their bonuses are based on

Just because it’s legal, Corporate labs wouldn’t introduce 1000s of chemicals without health testing

Surely, in a truly free market, insurers would at last fiercely compete to sell to the old, sick or poor

Women earning equally don’t expect us to hold the door for them to leave early again - For our kids

It’s impossible that foreign healthcare outcomes are better than ours since we spend so much more

Politicians & advertisers would never destroy the social unity created by all of us speaking English

Surely no one would accept any religion when so many claim to be the only one with the ear of God

So Many Ways I Lost My Way

I simply could not locate that must-have, on-sale eToy of my dreams - Though I saw that others had

Then, with no service bars and no wi-fi in range, I really hadn’t the slightest idea which way to turn

At home, something was wrong, all we could click up were the 300 loser channels we never watched

I grew confused by the media hydra of conflicting opinions, all spewed out as gospel & patriotic truth

I could not find our cart amid what seemed to be thousands of crowded & labyrinthic Wal*Mart aisles

Stumbling clumsily through all the rubble, I noticed it did not matter anymore, which way I turned

One day, mouthing buzzphrases, I didnt know if I was a progressive liberal or a conservative hardliner

Suddenly one evening, stuck on the freeway, I realized that no exit could ever take me home again

Got hammered and woke up parked by a smelly, overflowing dumpster at some rundown apartments

Lost my way staring into the sun pilgrimaging thru their fly-plagued & god-forsaken desert holy lands

Tried believing each & every political ad but that only led me into a maze of hilarious contradictions

Riding my new ATV onto BLM lands, I strayed off into a tangle of god-fearing, libertarian bandit trails

Grew confused wondering why there was so much hatred between so many, so similar, religious sects

Never could locate those 1% CEOs scuttling off roach-like to hide beneath a dark corporate anonymity

Wasn’t sure who to turn to when my kids stopped being my friends & my wife got the menopause

When I received my diagnosis, I suddenly realized how alone I was, right in the middle of everybody

After my 4^th layoff & downsizing, I considered I might be off the path to that Happily-Ever-After

When my doctor & insurance company both cut me off I turned to a faith in God for all my ills & bills

Grew ever more bewildered just trying to obey that needlessly massive & criminally cryptic tax code

When alcohol failed to comfort me I groped in wild desperation for my own mass personal savior teat

Blinded for years by the lies of a liberal media I was barely able to see the light of right wing gospel

The issues all seemed very complex but luckily the pithy Tweets of trusted media leaders led me thru

I couldn’t locate the hated enemy’s land on a map but I knew our drones would find their evil targets

In a moment of deathbed lucidity, I saw the endless sales of the Very Latest had lead me only to this

Couldn’t figure out why, though all the boxes & cans got smaller, the prices were not lowered at all

Never understood how so many people kept living in filth on a dollar a day - without any hope at all

Didn’t make sense that the government subsidized snack foods and paid for my diabetes & SSDI

Quit trying to figure out why our spending power decreased even while heroic CEOs grew ever richer

Got lost in the acres of giant pickups each parked & ready to clumsily haul one fat commuter around

Never again was the man I only thought I had been before I blew out my knee - Unloading groceries

Went astray in my pursuit of individual happiness what with all the noise, smoke, litter & neon lights

Did not see how bursting into girl’s elementary schools with AK-47s blazing punished the Great Satan

Finally got time to go over to Ma’s, but it was all dark & dirty like nobody’d been there for months

When I momentarily lost my faith I was quickly paralyzed by scores of painfully-conflicting soundbites

I’m pretty damn sure that Lotto ticket I lost last year was my Triple Pick, retirement-funding winner

So, with all the confusion in the herd it was no real surprise I lost my own personal sense of direction

A Silent and Empty Darkness

After one very brief and flashy little leap, we all simply fall back into that eternally unconscious void

No eyes to ogle any of their oh-so wondrous latest offerings

No more ears to be tingled by even the most of those lilting advertising jingles

Nor any of their hypnotizing colored lights to be seen at all

No voice left to spout one last meaningless sports stat, movie line or rap lyric

No longer will anyone hear your so very smooth pitch for overpriced dream homes

No implanted marketing illusions can ever penetrate your undefined point in the void

No blind lusting after the latest New & Improved, anymore, ever again

Nevermore to asskiss, backbite & shoulderclimb towards furtively-anonymous corporate glory

No more braying with that loudly-drunken laughter, far too long after midnight

No longer to mass hallucinate some fanciful personal savior’s voice, inside an otherwise empty head

Never again to suffer from that painful envy over someone else’s latest purchase

Nor any upward mobility, whatsoever - For there are no directions at all in that boundless emptiness

No cinematic tears or canned laughter can ever stir your so quickly-evaporated emotions

No more boring holidays with that dysfunctional, blended family

Not a single witless meme can you snarkily help to unconsciously viralize

No longer a need for all those Big Boy petro-toys to keep you so very fully and so lamely distracted

Nevermore any of those oh-so senseless Corpro-Sport cash cow Big Games to impatiently await

Not once more to read even one juicy Hollywood headline to bandy about over coffee

No more poisoned pounds to gain while flopping about heavily on that overloaded old couch

Not even one more truth-twisting paid soundbite will you be able to uncritically parrot - ever again

No way to pimp any more highly-innovative, morally-bankrupt financial investment innovations

No way, or duty, to remember such important priorities as birthdays, anniversaries & tax deadlines

Not the faintest memory left, even if only to be quickly forgotten, from your precious tho wasted life

None from the pettiest to the noblest of any of your few, though quite muddled, thoughts remain

Nevermore to suffer even the slightest double beef-bacon-cheeseburger hunger pang again

No longer to strive valiantly to save time – All that time which you never got to spend, in any case

No unquestioned patriotism left with which to defend our exceptionist nation’s precious sovereignty

No agonized, childlike waiting for all those quickly-forgotten & thoroughly-wasted weekends

No longer to be plagued by that vast liberal media conspiracy striving to nanny your very thoughts

Not even one brand of comical religious control fantasy available to artificially comfort you

No more everlasting love to be proven once again, with costly diamonds & vapid luxury cruises

No longer able, or ever again needing, to put off those frightening questions that actually mattered

No Happily-Ever-After to re-finance one more time, with no money down

Yes, never again to emerge from a guaranteed absolutely dreamless & commercial-free, eternity

There Was A Time...Then We “Grew Up”

There was a time, not too long ago, when it seemed we could get things to make sense, once again

But, now, dear friends, as we grow so old so quickly, it’s gotten far too late to make any real amends

We had our chances and our great potentials, lives starting out below clear skies and fresh rainbows

That was a time before the pursuit of our happiness morphed into a vapid, blind & destructive greed

We had a chance to make a difference but instead chose to lurk beneath a dark corporate anonymity

But there really was a time when it would not have to have turned out in this reckless & empty way

It is not evil that drives us now, but rather a hedonistic, shortsighted lifestyle filled with empty noise

As CEOs, huge bonuses met by a responsibility to stockholders for short term profits became our goal

Once we stood tall, lean, long-haired & clear-eyed with a mind to make things better in this world

Now our strength lies in an angry bellowing catechism of for-profit Faux News Neocon soundbites

We looked upon our elders as some strange & alien race with which we had nothing in common

Today we friend our kids, expensively trying to curry their favor as we helicopter their every step

There was a time when we learned to work with our hands – building, repairing and improving

Now our people do all that sort of thing for us, our precious time being far too valuable to squander

Once we cooked for ourselves & others without any factory food containing 50 or more ingredients

Today, the processed food industry meets our needs from Natural to Lean and everything in between

We were filled with yearning for the Great West and hitched all across the Intermountain wonderland

Currently our vacations are lame cruise ships, lumbering RVs or tacky, polluted tourist destinations

Our work had to challenge us, make a difference and contribute to some kind of progress for society

We morphed into a herd of brown-nosed suckups, shoulder-climbing & down-kicking towards success

There was a time when we searched for soul mates to walk with beneath that rainbow for a lifetime

Laying awake after another brutal verbal slugfest we wonder - Where has that other person gone?

Peace and good brotherhood would help remake the world in a kinder, gentler and safer way

Now we uncritically support each dEfense increase and clamor to bomb places we can’t find on maps

Somehow we didn’t think it was stupid or useless to study earth science to try & help save the planet

Luckily, we got our MBAs part-time at night and worked our way up to empty project manager jobs

Long ago learned the lesson that alcohol was a whole lot more dangerous than Mexican ditch weed

Graduated to designer vodka martinis every freakin night and learned to mainly ignore the hangovers

Took up meditation and brain wave control with an eye towards cultivating an inner spiritual growth

Now we make irreversible and guilt-free decisions in private council with our mass Personal Saviors

Took long hikes & backpacking trips far out into the glorious mountain wilderness savoring the silence

Now we clamor for all our national lands to be accessible to our unmuffled ATVs & snowmachines

Spent years trying to become educated reading hundreds & hundreds of diverse authors & subjects

All information is now but a simple click away and we no longer require any studious concentration

We would hold politicians to high standards of decency, honesty and morality, for the good of us all

Now we parrot their marketer’s soundbites & vote for those whose masters outsource our way of life

Red V. Blue

Even discussing these issues we hold so dear with those people would compromise our own sacred beliefs – Red V. Blue

Why should we have to pay for your fast food and candy addiction, aggravated by terminal couchitis

Why should we listen to your lame exercise crap when we worked all day & there’s a good game on

Why should we pick up your litter since that just tells you it’s OK to toss more junk out your windows

Why should we try to read all the tiny print, big-word food ingredients we don’t understand anyway

Why should we fret over climate change when the CO₂ oligarchies assure us it’s all part of God’s plan

Why should we buy your overpriced, elitist organics when factory snack foods are so tasty & so cheap

Why should we have to listen to your fat slob pickups & pathetically-lame Harleys 24x7x365

Why should we worry about clean water since we guzzle all ours from bottles that we quickly toss out

Why should we vote against the 1%ers who call us moochers & just offshore us for more fat bonuses

Why should we subsidize your wanton obesity and scornful disdain for any non-gas powered activity

Why should we bomb hell out of places you cannot even locate on a globe with names in big print

Why should we let Washington bureaucrats tell us what our kids are supposed to learn in their school

Why should we respect your spoonfed opinions - Fed to you as catchy soundbites by paid spin doctors

Why should we bother reading when that liberal media is all just big lies, junk science & bad math

Why should we try to get the lead & mercury out of your kid’s brains since you obviously don’t care

Why should we stress over your increasing ignorance - After all, it makes you even easier to control

Why should we give a damn about whatever keystoned species so long as football is on 80 hrs a week

Why should we hypermile in our hybrids as you pretend it’s NASCAR in your clumsy, bellowing pickups

Why should we turn in assault rifles so you can give over our precious national sovereignty to that UN

Why should we respect your implanted view that the market will bring healthcare to the sick or poor

Why should we pay our water bills, even though you do, since clean water is a universal human right

Why should we accept your judgments regarding fuzzy math when you can’t even count out change

Why should we be denied ATV access to our federal lands just because we don’t want to stupid hike

Why should we clean up after your beloved frackers who profitably export our Energy Independence

Why should we ever dialog with those who condone that sinful murdering of babies called abortion

Why should we not smoke bud after witnessing millennia of your alcohol-induced violence & stupidity

Why should we forsake our secure black & white faith for your fool & frightening rational uncertainty

Why should we support you when your own initiatives always boil down to just loudly shouting ‘NO!’

Why should we permit the government to over-regulate us on down into that old-Europe style decay

Why should we all have to bray in unison to support increases to an already-bloated dEfense budget

Why should we lower our divine moral standards by compromising with you godless NewAge heathens

See What You Get Do-Gooder?

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

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

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!

A Mostly Empty Mass Existence

There wasn’t much behind their loudly-blared patriotism beyond a violent, media-induced insecurity

Twerking their devices was but the latest way of avoiding any unpleasant metaphysical speculation

Their lite, cool & refreshing factory beer was merely littered cans of empty, brain-damaging calories

Beloved news hosts were simply parroting paid sponsor’s highly-charged, truth-twisting fake news

Their sacred TV sports were devoid of real meaning but did serve as wondrous corporate cash cows

Dusty & irrelevant religious faiths were shown to be as effective as any miracle fat-burning placebo

The annual Christmas binge was based only on co-opted, hyper-marketed faith and sales guilt pitches

Their kid’s potentials remained virtually unlimited but...A dying world mostly denied their expression

Immersion in the richness of literary experience was replaced with a self-immolation in vapid tweets

Reasoned debate was recast as the simultaneous, loud & angry shouting of half-truths & outright lies

Sentenced to work til 75, most over 50 were permanently outsourced & broke - yet loaded with debt

Seniors searched for meaning in their empty lives via expensive visits with Medicare-funded doctors

A career spent asskissing, backbiting, shoulderclimbing & downkicking left CEOs empty, but well-off

Bulky legal documents, for which lawyers over-billed, were easily summarized in 2 simple sentences

All their pleasure from new ATVs & snowmachines evaporated almost as fast as the gas they wasted

The noble pursuit of individual happiness morphed into a meaningless quest for the Next Big Thing

The factory food they were fattened upon provided no real nutrition but did fill them with additives

Turned out the Holy Free Market controlled demand by depleting resources & exterminating species

Their greatest life experiences actually occurred in a numbed immersion in empty corporate media

All the sports stats, movie lines & snarky soundbites afforded not 1 bit of comfort on their deathbeds

Though filled with emotionally-charged & stirring rhetoric, costly political ads were very low on truth

Looking ripe & juicy under special store lights, BigAg tomatoes & peaches were floury & taste-free

Upon review, their many tweets, texts & updates proved to be as lame as they were inconsequential

All their patriotic chest-beating against gun control really only encouraged more meaningless deaths

They waited impatiently for weeks on miserly 3 day holidays, which they forgot in near realtime

The sacred doctor-patient relationship morphed into 8 minutes of computer questions & another Med

After 40 years of a wonderful marriage she quietly asked him who he was, whenever he came to visit

Most of their treasured artifacts were sold, donated or discarded by their busy remaining next of kin

They smoked noisily about in clumsy pickups with huge beds they strove to keep very clean & empty

They felt free to decry climate scientist’s fuzzy math though they themselves could not make change

Declaring people to be their greatest asset, they ordered new layoffs & hired more benefitless temps

Politicos had to be highly-skilled at taking 5 minutes to not even answer a simple yes or no question

The 8 snack aisles were a nutritional desert, but rich in subsidized fat, sugar, salt & toxic chemicals

Vast numbers were pushed thru schools & released nearly illiterate & innumerate - But prison-ready

The dignity & sanctity of human existence decreased in direct proportion to an increasing population

Every god’s brand of eternal paradise was a mere fairy’s tale but, at least, the faithful never knew

It’s Not About The Issues, It’s About The Spin

It’s not about the issues, It’s about how smarmy spin doctors can frame the political debate for their sponsors’ target audience

It’s not about twisting your wornout god’s absurd fairytales into silly pro-gun, anti-abortion diatribes

It’s about ignoring this human-caused mass extinction which civil society is also unlikely to withstand

It’s not about your phony political posturing, perpetual money-raising, foto-ops & legislative gridlock

It’s about the inescapable effects of climate change on all societies and the few generations to come

It’s not about their bullying, fake-media-created, propaganda-supported ignorantly-proud patriotism

It’s about the resources, opportunities & wonders we are denying to all of our possible descendants

It’s not about the ludicrous & laughably-insane sectarian religious wars each faith so eagerly supports

It’s about the already unsustainable, yet still-increasing, human population that is choking the planet

It’s not about how many new smartphones we stand texting, heads down, in long lines to buy again

It’s about our threats to so many keystone species anchoring systems that underpin our very survival

It’s not about flawed & incomplete, yet nonetheless, cooked GDP, unemployment & inflation figures

It’s about antibiotic overuse by BigAg & Healthcare & those super bugs lurking in your child’s scratch

It’s not about sharing your spoonfed beliefs & bowel movements on Facebook with likeminded droids

It’s about the dark cloud of superstition & ignorance that is slowly descending over us all: Once again

It’s not about constant voting to abolish Obamacare, knowing full well that it would never happen

It’s about not even addressing our failing power grid, internet, roads, bridges, dams & water supplies

It’s not about how good it tastes before it ends up as more ugly & dangerous fat around your waist

It’s about how it’s mass-produced and all the polysyllabic chemicals injected during its manufacture

It’s not about debating over which pompous, neophobic, old, white man is the most Conservative

It’s about factory fishing legally stripmining all the vast oceans for AllYouCanEat weekday nites out

It’s not about cheap air-conditioning provided by burning industry advertising’s fictional Clean Coal

It’s about a proudly-loud ignorance which thoughtlessly destroys that which sustains such empty lives

It’s not about the artificially-created gravitas of abortion, gay marriage or gun control to either side

It’s about the 54% of black children who don’t have fathers & the 88% of them who live in poverty

It’s not about your constitutional right to rip new bandit ATV trails all across your federal lands

It’s about fixing a broken healthcare system – not merely wastefully subsidizing it thru Obamacare

It’s not about our CEO’s all-consuming focus on stock prices simply to earn yet another obscene bonus

It’s about absent corporate morality and their right to unlimited, anonymous, free speech donations

It’s not about the totally imaginary, so-called will of any of your archaic & wildly-implausible saviors

It’s about simply doing the right thing even in the face of the onrushing and inescapable, eternal void

Just Outside Our Pre-Programmed Maya

Maya – fr. Sanskrit, The illusory reality of the material world

Dirty rain can’t penetrate the pavement, so it quickly washes our wastes straight down to the rivers

Our billion tiny non-point sources are an uncontrolled runoff into their unsafe drinking water intakes

The magnitude of the devastation would simply overwhelm our minds, so we just smile and carry on

We are as hungry dreaming automatons meeting our simple swarm needs in strictly programmed ways

The vast fecal output of the mega-chicken farms leaches off & turns the bays & water supplies green

Every single home drips a thousand different chemicals, each and every time it rains

The innocent pigs imprisoned by the thousands stamp their contaminated waste into the groundwater

Model families spray poison on their flowers and over-apply everything to their artificial bluegrass

Abandoned sites still filter PCBs into streams and bays as well as into the flesh of nearby inhabitants

But, we are assured, this poison uptake issue cannot cross the species line separating us from animals

A dead space the size of Massachusetts is excreted from the Mississippi’s anus we call New Orleans

We tack up flimsy cellophane protective barriers around the new chancres of our ongoing progress

We roar across the shrunken Western reservoirs drunkenly shouting above our 500 horsepower din

Meanwhile, hot desert winds harshly evaporate the precious water at an astoundingly rapid pace

And yet, every single drop is spoken for, spoken for several times, in over-allocated state compacts

So, we clean out their upstream poopie but still drink of their vast array of chemicals and hormones

Turns out it’s far more cost effective to just warn of poisoned waters than to actually clean them up

Your kids should never swim with the remaining fish which we have tainted too badly for us to eat

But it’s OK, my precious children, you can always drink bottled New Jersey water & toss the plastic

And you won’t have to fret, cause you never saw, or even knew about, anything that was any better

Heavy factory fleet nets smash coral reefs that are already bleached out and dying from the warming

That’s after they came by with arsenic and dynamite to stun and paralyze their prey

A dead bycatch of seabirds, dolphins, albatross, marlin, sharks and rays bobs lazily in their wake

But, they’ve externalized the costs of ocean strip-mining so you can simply enjoy our weekly special

We institutionalize warfare, glorify suffering and commit ever-spiraling sums to our so-called dEfense

Only the truly wacked-out dare suggest that our divine Jihads simply quicken our own destruction

Countries encourage defensive population growth only to then fight resource wars to feed them

Conflict is simply inevitable so we know research to eradicate it would just be more socialist waste

We snicker at their fairytale squishy nonsense regarding climate change as well as global warming

Libtards dont dare ever mention how much money and how many jobs it would cost to even try to fix

And proudly every family joins the battle by adjusting home thermostats to their personal comfort

But one-worlders keep twisting out of context, junk science in their vast, conspiratorial takeover plot

And every single morning brings another half a million mouths to try and feed sustainably...

But only fascists whisper against the will of all our gods regarding our duty to be fruitful & multiply

So each day we add to our responsibility to squeeze out just a little more from just a little bit less

And no government dares think beyond simple food, shelter & jobs…and new breaks for the very rich
