Rare earth materials in cars and phones
help us hear and travel and stay in touch.
Much of human capital is in loans,
funding needs like a societal crutch.
Every device turns over in a year
to support immediate stock deadlines.
Endless mining is what we have to fear.
Endless growth is feeding our fat felines.
Greenland is our next source of rare earth stock.
When Greenland is depleted, where to go?
Antarctic continent at six-o-clock
is next place to mine for capital flow.
Like retired folks, it will not be long
when new generations find it all gone.

* according to nationalgeograhic.com, adélie penguins (winter animals)
live on the Antarctic continent and on many small,
surrounding coastal islands. They spend the winter offshore
in the seas surrounding the Antarctic pack ice
