i want
to
sincerely
express
my appreciation
for
your honest
statement
of
your deepest trepidations
but
as a mild point
of
perspective
i liked
to
call to your attention
to
this year’s
169 thousand deaths
of
mothers
that occurred
during
childbirth
oh
and
the
2 million hectares
of
forest
that has been lost
to erosion
erosion
produced
by
man’s negligence
of
the planet
oh
and one last thing
to mention
the
23 thousand people
who died
of
hunger
today
but
your serious
concerns
about
the availability
of
live lobsters
in
your local
market
will
of
course
be
given
appropriate
consideration
step right up and place your bets bet whatever dollar amount you wish there are no limits but all bets regardless of the wager are for your life toss the dice of climate change where the words of the game are loaded and suggest you can win but the reality is the house always wins and in this case the house is death hey but if you’re feeling lucky spin the wheel of global warming watch the wheel whirl like a planet out of control where the potential payout odds for survival are well let’s just say enjoy the game
always believed that the world i saw would evolve to include me but ain’t nothing changed justice is still sleeping and folks like me are more than welcomed to serve but not eat
it does not lurk in darkness nor wander in forest groves but does devour without regret all that it desires and if you peer down your street you will not see it but if you pass a mirror
you’ve sworn off meat out of your considerable concern for animal welfare and as a protest of how cruelly such docile beast are treated but though it’s not on the label the warehouse frozen discount fish you eat was caught by enslaved fishermen so you are partaking of their flesh and blood
