It started with solar panel smashings
fields littered with black spaceware
twinkling in shards in the sun
next, they took down the turbines
felling them during maintenance
two workers were seen on top
embracing before jumping together
from there, it was the hydroelectric dam
hole blown in wall by homemade device
thousands of gallons crash through
drowning what must have been thought of
wrongly as an acceptable cost
soon the smog returned
and every anti-green hick
worshipped at the rigs and
returned to the mines
dying, choking, but feeling free somehow
pulling us with them into an Earth on fire.
Oo, doesn’t the world feel like this, especially now? This made me feel anxious – which is what you were going for, right?
