How we love our fossil fuels
We’re addicted to the stuff.
Canadian Association of
Petro-Producers boast
Our Tar-sands are the best, but
Pipelines across rivers are
needed to sell the rest.
And driving Ford F-150 truck
From home to office and back
again
Or toting hockey bag alone to
practice
Makes it the most popular
vehicle in Canada
Which doesn’t make much sense.
How we love our crap and stuff,
So much designer this and that,
Private storage now in short
supply;
Mountains of garbage clog our
dumps
Reduce long lost out to reuse,
recycle - sucks.
Headlines shout and warn us of
Ever more frequent ferocious
storms,
Of wind and snow, of glacial
melt,
Floods, fires, food shortages
and drought
Record levels of extinction
about.
One day too soon our kids will
ask us- “why?”
