Hometown
Hometown
Our children, our families, our cities,
A shining reflection of our respect.
We are doing our best, while some
giant companies with great cheek,
Do their utmost to ruin the world.
With brazen and inhumane recklessness.
In turn, we the people, are blamed for
its ruination.
Of this great and shining nation.
They take away paper bags,plastic
straws , hot dogs, what's next?
Styrofoam is my guess!
Then sell you carcinogenic products
by the galore by the score.
It's you, they blame for the rotten
environment.
They get faux scientists, to prove
you are evil!
Whilst selling you poisons to use
at home, most dangerous and despicable.
We hue and cry over the scourge
of cancer!
Refusing to listen or learn what
Carcinogenic products we use each day
That brings deathly cancer our way.
We dance along this yellow brick road
A most dangerous highway.
We poison our lawns ever so merrily.
Then send our beloved dogs outside to roll
in poisoned grass in glory!
Are you totally mad?
I suggest, if you believe it's so safe,
Take a bath when the moon is up.
You yourself, roll naked in the
lymphoma producing grass..
Completely, bare _ssed!
The world is not ending, is someone a
seer?
Perhaps, they had too much beer, or most
likely a political hack.
To frighten your soul, to rip a vote
from your guileless back?
To pit the world against against each
another,
To fill our hearts with worry and fear.
Tell them "No more"
Do what you can wherever you live.
Look deep into your own soul, love
your fellow man.
