History vs. economics
Bringing strife and other things
A milliard of words were spent
What to say? All these reports?
"Blah, blah, blah, you've let us down
Future gens on you will frown".
What's the point of all this growth
If for the future you're destroying hope?
What good is stuff and more things
If Gaia's death is all it brings?
At school we were taught by looking back
At History, blunders we could track
Why is Economics such a powerful force
When ultimately, it makes things worse?
Getting and spending we lay waste the Earth,
Of common sense there is a dearth.
It's time for us to take control
Make sustainability our common goal.
If this means less stuff we don't need
Let's pray this lesson's well received.
If not, please don't hold your breath
Brings more bad news for me and you.
