If it was just geo-politics

it would not be the end of the world

just the end of an era

we have been through rough patches where the old ways have fallen away

and the world feels as if it's spinning apart

and it is, we've hit another patch

in all of history we have managed to persist through those patches

but

we have also reached another point 

a point where the oceans can not hold any more carbon

the fishes are dying

the air can not hold any more carbon

the birds are dying

the polar ice caps are melting in February

instead of enjoying the bounties of the earth

we have raped her

most of us didn't mean to

its our culture

a culture built to require cars

 to get food

shipped twice across the world

before it makes it to your supermarket in cute little packaging

all that convenience so we can work for the men

who pay for the politicians

who make it profitable to

pump more oil

pump and drill

pump and drill

but orgasms never come

unless they jack off to their balance sheets
