do you choose

                 between
hell and high water

when . .

hell and high water
is the same place . . ?


        do we breathe today
            or hold our breath
                  until tomorrow . . ?

                        anoxia
                      is divine
               in this reality

climate change
global warming
carbon saturation
                cloning

over-medicated livestock
genetically engineered foodstock

        g r a i n s t o c k  .  .

        never before seen
        in nature

                       m e a t . !
             grown in labs . .

            sliced up
            and packaged neatly
                    for consumption

                
t h e   p r o g n o s i s . . ?


        bodies laid out
                  on slabs


g e n e t i c a l l y   m o d i f i e d . . !


        is just another lie
        for -  ya gonna die  .  !


if   y a   e a t   t h i s   s h i t


        blood pressure
        pressures

                an ill functioning
                healthcare system

        into  .  .
        heart attacks


                           strokes
        erectile dysfunction

a n d    e v e r y t h i n g

                     that ain’t
          functioning right

          the control valve
          controls nothing


t h e   s e t u p    i s    a    b u i l d  up

           born of corruption
                       and greed


scorched earth farming
                  strip mining

                                                                                                       mountains that were forever


                      C R Y . . !


     as rivers flow the waste
     of greed and indifference
    

              over-harvesting
              the seas

    flood waters rise  .  !

    the ground shakes
               beneath us

    the seas
    have turned against us

    to wash away the disease
                               that is us

    f r o m   t h e   l a n d


                        the air
    poisons in its wake

            fossil fuel
            fuels death . !

   an irreversible circumstance
    

we’re creating
our own slow burn

        reward for contempt
                   and sacrilege


       sea ice melt
       permafrost gone


               as glaciers
        glide into a sea
        somewhere


a l l    l e v e l s    r i s e  .  !

            deforestation
            vanishing wetlands
                        soil erosion

            N O W . . .

            The Desert Amazon . . !


coral reefs die . .
    aquifers dry

           we are the canaries
           in the coal mine


            n o    m o r e . .

            shall we dance
            
              in the snows
            of Kilimanjaro


    u n l e a s h e d  ~

       untold horrors
       frozen in time

              e o n s
              
             released

        havoc’s reign   .  !


        one does not rape
        one’s mother  .  .  !


                       and
                     where . .


                   D i d   A l l
