GOOGLE IT — An Open Letter Addressing The Problem Of Modern Humans' Response To Global Warming

written some time ago but only just now posted*


       

       



Google It

An Open Letter


Almost two thirds of rivers on earth dried up last year.


HELP


Don't run around crying like I didn't know 

After choosing to stop up your ears

Don't conוe around, sighing, like where should I go

After refusing to hear it for years


More than two thirds of all animals are gone.


HELP US


Don't be sneaking out selling your oil and coal 

After each summit accord and agreement

Don't be freaking out pretending you're loyal, the goal 

After all, was aborted while ink was still wet


Over one third of the world's population will be displaced.


HELP US NOW


What are you buying saying you're trying 

People are dying because of your lying

Why don't you admit that you don't give a shit

About what you did, or your kids, or after you're dead


Forcing the future to pay buys not one extra day.


HELP US NOW 

FIX THIS

OR GET OUT OF THE WAY



*because I quit waiting on the New Yorker to get back to me.

private eye, or, fantasies as tangible as epistemic



private eye

or, fantasies as tangible as epistemic


if i could only discover words realer that real

more like this now than i know

would that fresh kind of fire from Heaven to steal

really be worth certain death down below

would i still feel the same once i know

knowing this would i still want to go


if only i knew what it’s like being you

as my words seek out & find you somewhere

if i could see hear & feel what you do

would you know then for sure that i care

in the end would i think it was fair

only needed a good questionnaire


if somehow i see what it is to be me

in context in time with perspective

would it fall into place, make me finally free

would that freedom be highly infective

giving life a new hip prime directive

at least we might be more effective
