Cattle and Suv's

Polar bears, spotted owls and honey bees Care nothing of scientific debates Over flatus of cattle and SUV’s. Some drop big oil drills and some drop big trees To provide a place for our dinner plate, With its filet mignon or black eye peas. The planet goes on with its rolling seas Immune to false conclusions and the hate Over flatus of cattle and SUV’s. Should politics and graduate degrees Be allowed to sit and decide our fate, While eating filet mignon/black eye peas? Political winds, like a gentle breeze, Carry the pollen of absurd debate; Over flatus of cattle and SUV’s. Perhaps all the powers of wannabe’s Can save all the birds, fishes, ants and trees; The filet mignon, and the black eye peas; The flatus of cattle and SUV’s.
