bio-hypocrisy
caved in coalminers painted peaceful green
biodiesel slobber on soul patch chins
gasoline rev preaches Prius from an Escalade
black fumes and oil plumes roll from upturned noses
lies pose naked on CNN
mouse potato wars won’t run on windmills
television sets don’t work without destruction
every switch flipped drips fuel onto the fire
and the flames rise higher, and the liars still burn
punk rock pictures of oil-slicked aquascapes
hi-jack ringtones west to east
but every light flicker takes a sip of liquid dinosaur
and every text message cuts a hole in Momma’s side
bio-hypocrisy surfs satellite waves
we are all slaves to the gods of combustion
even tie-dye saints revel in the fossil fry
while
android saviors
on shiny chrome crosses
bleed raw crude salvation
