The Landlady's Memo

Dear Tenants,

If you are not a global citizen
then you do not reside here.

Your vehicles,
and your extractive habits of siphoning and fracking my resources,
your competitive lose-lose nationalistic economy,
and your toxic egocentric culture
are prohibited by our mutually cooperative lease
on multiculturing life.

Please stop peeing and pooping in my water,
while starving my malnourished soil.
How would you like it if I took a crap in your blood-stream
and sucked dry your soul?

Please turn down the volume
and turn up some compassion.
Breach of globally contracted
mutual respect and integrity,
need I remind you?
is far more than sufficient cause to evict
your not-sorry-enough ass.

Namaste,
Landlady Gaia
