Koch polluter dead.......

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Koch Habit, By Brian37 (AKA Brian Jame Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

Sevante got it right
In 1896 He sounded the alarm
Too much CO2
Would cause the planet great harm

But the Barons of fossil fuel
Have been greedy and cruel
Put profits above the planet
Most governments they do rule

The lungs of our planet
In the Amazon
20 percent of our oxygen production
Soon to be gone


It is a Shell game
All about profit
Bullshit short term thinking
That will cost our entire planet

We had solar technology
As early as the 1920s
But the polluters 
Bought up all the patents

And as a result
The weather more extreme
More floods, wild fires
And stronger hurricanes


More plastic in our oceans
Too much acid rain
Ocean levels rising
Coral reefs continually dying

Effecting food supplies
Flooding farmer's fields
On which 
The world relies

I really want to hope
Really want to believe
My species is not so selfish
To accept the emergency we face


We have to do better
Those at the top
To put our planet first
Instead of mere profit.
(end)

And a Metallica song dealing with this very subject. I have to admit, although I liked the song when it first came out. I really did not understand the full impact and importance of it back then.

Hate to cut your dancefest short - 

But he probably left a rather large bequest to the GOP....

Maybe even to the NRA..

I wouldn't expect less from such a giant douchebag.

You know he also supported abortion rights, LGBT rights, and a citizenship path for illegal immigrants, right?  Why didn't you work that into your poem?
