giant blue fins
cursed by their silky flesh
to extinction
the fewer fish the more
valuable they become
the raw value lost in toasts to plenty
an ocean of plastic bits
competing with the fish
melting ice caps
beckon extractors
All caution thrown to the gods of profit
more ocean open for drilling
its a bargain if you’re
counting only money
ancient trees felled
for packages of things
that compete for space in the landfill
as soon they leave the shelf
(a shelf fulfilling prophesy)
expedient waste according the latest
cost benefit analysis
goes straight to the
bottom line which has no bottom
and a top that has no concern
about the consumption of life
who needs it if it’s not profitable
the world stripped bare
is not a barrier to entry
or exit because money talks
to itself in a very convincing fashion
so its all ok
to destroy for more
what does extinction do
To the spread sheets?
