Another poem from long ago – This has got worse too!

Sexton Beetle (Necroporus humator) lying on its back, shamming dead.

Even the bugs aren’t doing well anymore!!!

No bugs = no birds.

 

ALL FUCKED

Gorillas, whales and baby seals

Rhinos, Elephants and quail

Defiant in the undergrowth

We have blasted them to hell

 

Forests, land and water

Air, us and sea swell

A job that’s well worth doing

For the pleasure or the sell

 

Caged, tortured, maimed

Hunted, poked, impaled

Badgered to extinction

But the bugs are doing well

 

Why take the time to do it slow

Why not get it over quick?

Put life out of its misery

Kill the planet

Don’t leave it sick!
