An Acrostic "slap of the Glove".......

Goodness knows the greed involved Unwilling to admit, unable to proceed Life on this fragile rock totters For we have never fouled the nest like this Oceanic trauma, on a voyage, east then north Ice, blue-clean, beauty, dead before the march of black gold Listing heavily to one side, we're taking on what used to be only water Smug arrogance put us here Plans within plans have failed Ill-gotten were the riches, ill-tended were the fields Laddie, grab a pail and bail for all you're WORTH! Let's just all hope they're not setting the price on that too!!!!
