Got Game

From the north silently it comes down the river, invisible, radioactive, combining with *acid rain. Nuclear power, cheap energy, a cancer giver and all we love will end, if we don't chose to refrain. So fueled by greed, we chew up the earth for coal to burn, blackening the skies and butchering the mountain side, all so that we can drive SUV's with total unconcern, laughing at the third world, on the globe, we stand astride. The black-outs, *brown-outs, oh the anarchy of light's blight creating a sickly yellow miasma's where few stars shine. And cities of cave dwellers who never see the night, turn shades of puce and pink by neon lights malign. Soon, I'm sure, we'll redefine the nature of what's pure, and Seri's *app will tell what game to eat ...and the cure.

Good write. Everything you say is true. In 1994 - In a town near where we lived my husband and i were coming home, when all of a sudden the sky turned black and the trafic was moving very slowly. All this black stuff was falling from the sky, on our cars, our homes and on ourselves. A refinery had exploded. We got a little money for tha, but not enough. Have a great day. Lucy

I think we should be exporting clean energy technology to the third world countries. Clean, renewable energy sources are vital to all economies. Conservation has to go hand in hand with technology. Reguardless of my position, your position was competently and artfully stated. I enjoyed your environmental opine!
