There Ought To Be a Golden Rule

There ought to be a law

If CEOs ignore firestorm conflagrations
expanding in strength
and endurance
And ignore wet windstorms
wiping out resident populations,
humane and Republican
and otherwise,

If CEOs meanwhile invest all their twitter toilet time
and anti-green revolutionary rallies
expanding hate conflagrations
of disinformation
against their patriotic healthy opposition,
and not one unmediated word,
much less "praying with feet" investment
in ecological and theological economic therapy,
multicultural healing sins of Great White Fathers,

Then we get to choose
a healthier,
more sane,
more loyal,
more invested,
more committed to health and happiness,
less treasonous
CEO.

And he gets to choose
a healthier,
more sane,
less fractured 
therapeutic habitat.
