Jatropheus' Poetic Pages


Not Where We Eat

I believe that time is nearing its end
We destroy our world while claiming to defend
Polluting our home, strangling the Earth
Throw away our children�s chances even before birth

See the flocks of gargantuan steel birds
Depositing their wastes like so many turds
Soon nothing can grow, not even the weeds
Acid rain falls as the atmosphere bleeds

We have wounded Mother, in ozone burned a hole
Sacrifice our very breath, our lungs blacken to coal
Forget the toxic sludge that our water table�s kissed
As we look to a future that simply can not exist
