beware the outragesauras

gluttonous drive-time dinosaurs

dreaded treaded behemoths
that bully across the face of our crippled planet
devouring resources
like a herd of metallic mastodons

a relentless forage of fragile fossil fuel
to suck dry the paleozoic nectar
300 million years in the making

a fraction of that in the plunder

they spew forth poisonous discharge
fouling the atmosphere
pummeling our frail ecosystem

shoving earth closer
ever closer
to the brink of no return
to satisfy toxic arrogance

extinction’s revenge

Outrageous

Outrageous

•

watch them

see them
in their cavernous dwellings

shrines to excess
to waste

testaments to foolish disregard
for our precious planet

observe them hoist themselves
to command positions
in gluttonous drive-time dinosaurs

dreaded treaded behemoths

that bully across the face
of our crippled planet

devouring resources
like a herd
of metallic mastodons

a relentless forage
of fragile fossil fuel

to suck dry
the paleozoic nectar

300 million years
in the making

a fraction of that
in the plunder
and depletion

by frivolous toys
of self-extinction

that spew forth
poisonous discharge

fouling the atmosphere

pummeling our frail ecosystem

shoving earth closer
ever closer
to the brink of no return

to satisfy a toxic desire
for bigger
gaudier
faster

hungrier

to feed
a caustic ego

to assert
perceived dominion

they are the elite
the special

the outrageously dangerous

they
are you and I
