Daddy Phantom Goes Green

From infants sharing a symbiotic relationship with elemental forces
Into Juvenile Delinquents recklessly manipulating them
Progress?
Evolution?
Recycling Bins and Hybrids?
Collective guilt complexes
Failed attempts at quick band-aid fixes that can’t stem the current biological trend
Countries that are yet to reap the benefits (of Babylon’s Slumber Party with no parental supervision)
Pay dearly for its sins
Attacked by Weather Witches sent via satellite transmission
Feed the children?
Teach them how to fish in poisoned oceans?
Till the land destroyed by the same hands that offer humanitarian relief?
Who leads the charge to “Go Green”?
Rhetorical
Tic Toc is methodical
Now the Earth needs our permission to exist?
Children of the corn
Curse of the unborn
Everybody walk the Dinosaur
Right into the man-made apocalypse
Would it be Ill Logic to theorize?
The Mother of Nature has shifted her focus from
Our protection to
That of the innocent ecosystem?

Author's Note
This was one of the first pieces I wrote with Performance Poetry in mind. It's almost 15 years old now. It's funny how time flies, and it's even funnier how some lyrics transcend time.
