Anthropocene
When all that's done with voracious troops
Is to guard invisible borders
And blindly follow evil orders
From a minority of bourgeois dupes
We add useless lines to a map
Whose topography doesn't care
Any more than the boundless air
Flowing in and out of every chap.
So let's get those chaps to go to work
To clean the plastic from the sea
And replant every burned out tree
Burned by another careless jerk.
No doubt as careless as those who sell
Crude oil pumped from the pits of hell.
