I am the never changing face of America
Consuming anything that gleams forbidden
Slaughtered cow, pig and sheep
I am the painfully average American Male
Bathing in polluted bathwater oil slicks
Drinking the sharp tart of Acid Rain
I am the blank and wide eyed face of John Q. Public
My environmental woes hide under sweat shop shirts
Buried deep in the thick fat of moral ambiguity
I am the embodiment of the Human Locust
The ever sucking deer tick
The black plague of greenery and beauty
I am the lecherous maggot of a dying World
Feeding as deep wounds are gouged for cell phones
Feeding as the future goes up in a cloud of exhaust
I am the voice of righteous indignation
Screaming to be heard by gilded ears
Whispering in quiet defeat
I am the ever burning Generational guilt
Crying for the mistakes of my parents
Sobbing for the mistakes of my own
I am the brightening face of hope
Protecting my Mother against carbon bullets
Standing stoic against the quickly gathering smog
I am the rising turbulent winds of change
