lorax
I am the Lorax
I speak for the trees
its a pity i do so
after the breeze
blew all knowledge of why
a tree is important
down into your lungs and you took it for granted
I am the Lorax
I speak for trees
Monsanto is a greater dictator than Hitler
All domestic trees are tampered,
murdered and seedless.
There is no regeneration through the natural flow
we can only buy life at the farm goods store.
I am the Lorax
I speak for the trees
who no longer feed the indigenous breed
I am the Lorax I speak for the trees
that do not reside in the aisles or the trays
I am the root that no longer grows,
and no longer spreads along concrete pavements
I am the Lorax
I speak for the trees
who long for the water
that no wider comes
who now run from the sun
that once made them electric
who now become compost rotting
in their own inner dampness
I am the Lorax speaking in the desert
warning the greatest Eastern cities
of depletion and disaster.
They retort they are the richest of the world
and can afford to keep the illusion of life alive
but in this desert, called Dubai,
who could tell, that at its heart
sits the devil and his tail hems the city in
an oasis on a sand dune
vast waters they consume
and smile
thinking money acquires even that which earth does not design…
there is a finite timeline
and the trees are already falling off it.
How proud the developers should be of our planet
and themselves as the architects of a dead future
with a sense of accomplishment,
they roll carbon effluent coffins
around on asphalt plant prisons
and build castles of rehydrated rock
to party in
and while the girls blood cells atrophy
for want of oxygen
they’ll just sell bottled air
probably call it CL-AIR
and they can sip it in between
liquor and the party.
How advanced our technology is
when it stands in the face of nature as the cannon self
as the angry nosed gun nozzle
demanding the passengers get out of poles
Our tech is designed to suit our economy, and not to suit our needs.
The economy is an unfair animal they continue to feed.
Only the cutthroat will float to the top
and only the Phoenix may defend against them.
