Tangled and mangled Earth's once pliable green skeleton Is now just twisted cold steel bones Reflecting our chemically induced ego trip Into the heaven's judging eyes I am no mechanic but I do engineer We cannot go on like this forever Crippling muscle and thoughts ability to bend Until we can do naught but fracture and break Where is the drawn line? Must have used chalk Must have washed away in one of those bailout floods Politicians always have a boat waiting for them Smacking civilian heads as they paddle along But their blind eyes will not be shown mercy From the ravaging wild fire they started Only those of us who can swim will be safe
