Media-Circus Malevolence
A wheel caves in without a spoke --
the part essential to the whole.
While rain forests go up in smoke,
man's folly dissipates his soul.
The pollution in our oceans
wipes out the plants and fish.
Our most foul and base emotions
just limn a dark death-wish.
Our differences divide us --
man's inhumanity to man
(like a chancre filled with pus)
excoriates all hope or plan.
The outcome is uncertain,
hard to tell what lies in store.
We may find that it's just curtains,
and unleash nuclear war.
Each day more species vanish
as we pillage and despoil.
It's common sense we banish
in our desperate search for oil.
A Malthusian catastrophe
lies waiting round the bend --
and our much vaunted fecundity
indicates a ghastly end.
