When Trees Are Just A Memory

🍂☠️🌳🪦🌲🪦🌴☠️🍃

This Is Never Poetry

Just A Word Or Two Of Warning

When Trees Are Just A Memory

And The Final Leaf Has Dropped

The Last Bee Killed By Pesticides

🌲

Murdered By The Hedge Fund Pocketeers

The Only Things Growing

Are Offshore Bank Accounts

And As The Last Drop Of Water

🪦

Is Drunk By Another AI Data Centre

The Server Will Overheat

And Stop

Humanity Was Gone Long Ago

☠️

But Their Only Interest

Was Power And Wealth

Not Life And Living

But The Rates Were High

🍃

And Now The World Wide Web

And Every Bank Account

Is Gone

Along With The Human Race

🍂

And Every Living Creature

Earth Is No More

The Billionaires Got Their Victory

🍂☠️🌳🪦🌲🪦🌴☠️🍃
