my major questions

major questions have been found
too serious for action?
the urgency too profound
to get any traction?

this extreme court’s opinion
neil’s down with justice john
to welcome climate oblivion
clarence, brett, sam too got it wrong

any comely ferret could have done better
but federalists have the privilege
to send the EPA a death letter
pushing weather over the edge

my major question #1:
if we don’t resist the theocratic
how will we see life when we’re done?
will we ever shift from automatic?

#2 is a doozy:
do we control our bodies?
we had the right to be choosy
will we surrender it to the toadies?

#3 makes me scream
where is our freedom from the numb?
if authoritarian beliefs are enforceable creed
to their baby’s chee-zits we’ll succumb

#4 just one more personal question
when the crusade marches up your street
will you value your own intention
or will you be crushed under feet?

to myself i turn and ask
why is it that i need to write?
under government by oil and gas
this battle i was born to fight
