Fat-cat entrepreneurs greedily lap up profits,
Reduce ‘things’ to plastic-packaged parts,
Drown whale song with drilling and fracking.
Warm ice shelves in toxic oceans,
Clear forests for palm oil plantations.
A line transcendent poets have never uttered:
”Lies, Denial, Greed, Be all you ever need.”
The Eco-warrior’s intent is to defragment,
Restore Earth’s juicy wholeness instead,
Recycle outgrown mindsets,
Produce new paradigms of kindness.
Poets have carved directives for centuries
on trees in Hampstead Heath united:
“Love, Truth, Beauty, Be all you ever need.”
