Judgment and Verdict for Every Earth Righteous Hell to the No
Throwing dirt at the dirty...and everything else
When the establishment keeps records...
you become a document
in a file updated by senior staff
where inaccuracies work to an advantage,
create blurred lines and incomprehensible demands.
Freedom and justice require less paperwork but
“It’s not that simple,” I’m told.
Societies operate under the illusion of sovereignty,
citizens the illusion of self-determination.
There are 2 x 10 to the 23 complexity degrees
that all the graphics in the world
won’t make any clearer at grassroots level
where the self-same soil cries of crimes
and roots knew righteousness long before humanity
had half a brain cell to contemplate earth’s equilibrium.
*
Since donkeys and dirt,
you’ve slung propaganda
a tactical wall,
a distant fortress to dissuade fervor,
wear down passion-mad masses and stagnate momentum.
Been too long coming.
Channeling every felled tree
while it gifted photosynthesis for your stupid ass.
Judgment: Flood fire drought mudslides extreme rainfall/heat storms
Bodies breaching discontent
as microplastics found in blood and bronchioles.
Breath in stridor
struggling for air due to a homo sapiens lunatic
who would choke the right to inhale on well-constructed rhetoric
*
Verdict: No more sand-drawn lines or diplomatic summits
to screw mediated negotiations of nothingness ‘til I die.
Not buying what you selling.
Presentation-coated warped perception-driven strategies
incinerating precious time.
Ain’t. Playing.
Wanna lose?
Fight fair.
Go on.
While I sucker punch
the shizzay outta corporate interests
and net zero emission targets
trailing sloths and snails
for the longest ever running game of ‘Mother May I’
where they’ve been a snot cheat since beginnings
and believe Mama Earth oblivious.
Idiots
to think I care about appearances.
An ugly win is still a win.
I’ll sink to bruised bloodiness
illegal hair pulls
throat strikes
and below-the-belt blows.
After all is said and done
there will be a liveable planet
while they
delusional and down-for-the-count
thought I’d wait ‘til 2050.
Hell no.

Congratulations on the Runner-up Win!!!
Strong commentary. This is a fantastic speech, and it sends out a very strong message. I really like how it has been written, and how the language makes clear to us that there is only one earth.
A powerful and important message. Thank you for being bold and brave enough to share it.
Wow so true! Love this line especially "Societies operate under the illusion of sovereignty." Big money is always in play. Such a powerful poem. We only have this one planet and we should be doing all we can to save it.
