War To End All Wars

War To End All Wars
It will be the war
On corporate polluters
The corporate polluters
Who deprive Our Children 
Of clean air, clean water and clean food
These corporate polluters
Driven by ego and greed
Are relentless
In their pursuit of profits
To sustain their avaricious 
Narcissistic lifestyles
*
Parents and their Children
Will be armed with Love, Courage 
And Determination to 
Dismantle the laws and policies
Allowing rampant pollution 
To harm so many of us
Demand for corporate accountability
Will be heard from 'Sea to Shining Sea'
*
We are on the Edge of Existence
We and Our Children
Will not be pushed 
Over the cliff
*
The Love we have for
Our Children
And their future
Will engender 
A massive push-back
And a fierce stare-down
Of corporate giants 
*
Governments will understand
A Mother's
Intense
Ferocious
Passion 
To Save 
Protect
Their
Children 
The 
Future 
They 
Deserve
*

Hi John, I like the passion of your poetry. I hope, too, that there will be prosecution for "corporate polluters." Nevertheless, I find environmental issues are not high on the list of citizen advocacy or political legislative will. Maybe the populace will rise to action. Till then, keep the clarion call on an end to pollution. Well done. Brian
