He Who Laughs Last Will Be A Fertile Mutant Cockroach
When I look up in the air
I can see the wind blowing
I can see the trees dying
From the tears the sky is crying
It'll take much more than care
To ease Mother Nature's pain
To wash acid out of rain
Oil is a quiet hurricane
Show them all the evidence
But they won't believe their eyes
Even now they still deny
Water is not all that clouds the sky
When a doughnuts hole is gone
There is nothing left to eat
When ozone’s hole is complete
There won't be anything but heat
That's no way to heat our home
We need an alternative
And more initiative
The bottom line is that we live
If we murder Mother Earth
Count now what your money won't be worth
No one will laugh, no one will wear the final smile
There will be no one to put on trial

I laughed so hard at the title but its a very serious poem and so very true. I noticed the date of this poem is over 20 years ago. When did you write the other one "Mother Oh Mother"? I really love that one too!
This is very visual and although we dont hear about the ozone hole anymore, the same people are still in denile over climate change and only think about financial costs and dont care about the cost to nature. But in the end it will also cost more money and maybe their lives too. And maybe mine and maybe yours and yousr and yours and yours.........
