Here are two poems about the immorality of fossil fuel. I welcome suggestions to improve them.

What's Sacred Now?

Fossil Fuel Fire

            burns away our future

            burns away safety

            burns away joy

 

Extinguish that flame

            to honor the Earth

            to cherish the children

            to love yourself

 

Impure flames - fossil fuel

Evil flames - fossil fuel

 

Not sacred now

            Never sacred again

 

Don’t light up a runaway greenhouse effect

            with the evil flame.

 

Blow it out - the evil flame

Turn it off - the evil flame

 

Before it’s too late

Before it consumes us all

 

What’s sacred now?  Sustainable energy!

Fossil Fuel - The Long Con

Don’t be fooled by its beauty

            that fossil fuel flame.

 

Disgusting, Revolting, Nasty

 

Don’t let its help entrap you,

            so easy,

            seeming so cheap.

 

All the while it’s invisibly

            burning up our future

            eating away hope

            turning climate against us

            making oceans sick.

 

Fossil Fuel Addiction is a lethal disease

            that ends civilizations.

 

First it makes you mighty.

            Then it turns all the forests to ash.

 

Fossil Fuel Flame promises riches

            and delivers death.
