Snake Oil

Inability never stopped him It made the journey interesting Stupidity never slowed him How could he know failure? Time never stopped him, he simply multiplied Salt water never stopped him he left it Hunger hasn’t stopped him he’s devouring the earth Who is this destroyer of Eden This watery chemical force Is there a cure? YES somewhere in this exploding horde of greed are individuals following reason Given incentive they will set a course For following generations to correct This destructive multiplication In the billions of eyes out there a pair will open It may already be too late An eye opener to face the day with Sip slowly Un rhyming ill timed verses Dubious Odes to Progress Are not to be taken lightly
