This poem is a form of apology to Mother Earth for the daily grand rationalizations we tolerate in service of capitalism and The Economy, our won true God. I post this as wildfire smoke engulfs multiple states with killer air quality. Welcome to winning, American style.<\/p>\n

Sorry, Mom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I got this
\nAn off her I couldn’t refuse
\nWhat would it take
\nTo kill my mother
\nA $100,000?
\nA million dollars?
\nA trillion dollars?
\nBeing made
\nThe king of the world?
\nWhat kind
\nOf amoral choice
\nIn won’s weigh of life
\nTo cast the die
\nThe kneads of the most
\nKnot the few
\nYou can’t make up such choices
\nWhat must
\nYou take
\nFor give
\nToo set atone
\nFor the world
\nPondering the buy and buy
\nMore than
\nJust saying
\nIn the end
\nSorry, mom
\nSorry, Mother Earth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
