The anti-fa-ctual irony'

We must de-industrialise i hear..By some pallid strange
Specimens; let this be clear' in order to devolve to sustain'
We must resort to mass slaughter? Oh the idiocy.' And such
Strain the cattle are creating co2.. its the stuff of creation 
And part of it.' Is that not true.? Yet still we must strive to
Mine lithium ore..Quite a destructive passtime.' To obtain
From raw.? Yet the goal is sustainable farming and such
Like ploughing with horses? And lighting candles well its
Not really that tough.' It can be done.' I'm not saying it
Can't but we'll need all the livestock.' About which some
Rant.' To do the impossible mankind ever tries.' And fads
Are ubiquitous as are callumny and lies.'

Maybe we are all just toast, assuming that we actually exist in a shared existent space.

Plastic packaging, nano-particles in water bottles unknowingly ingested now being linked to dementia -- eat less, from the backyard garden if blessed with owning a bit of fertile land to produce. Another important read. Thank you, Joe.
