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
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.
