5. Global Warming

Palm trees in Tokyo
Slopes of Mt. Blanc bare

Tail pipes spewing out toxic waste
Jet planes speeding through the air

Shorelines rising inch by inch
Ice caps shrinking in size

Disease demographics shifting
Mosquitoes & cockroaches thrive

As thermometers break new records
warm blood drips on barbed wires

Welcome ta Kentucky Fried McEarth^® –
whare thangs ere spicy, hot, 'n
stuck in over-drive!

Welcome ta ah flamin' nightmare –
kreated by fantasies you (and
billions more) desire . . .

Fantasies with price tags
propelling the world's economy

Fantasies saying, "bye! bye!"
to our Earth as we
buy, buy!
