earth note 698


the head of the ohio river
has been hung out to dry
rolling its eyes     origin weeping
as the commentators come on
gushing about how many jobs
will be supplied by a petrochemical cracker box
     of poison     and plastic
just a few miles downstream

after all
we need plastic
like the country needs a billion more
credit cards

as royal dutch shell gas industry commands it
every bought & paid for politician
opens their mouth
closes their eyes
