We Just Lost the Human Race
A Poem by Marshal Gebbie
We Just Lost the Human Raceby Marshal Gebbie(Quote by Spike Milligan)
One very wise man sat and said That, long before this world is dead This planet’s problems won’t be solved By reasoning which, though now evolved, Has got us, where we now do sit, Afloat neck deep in mankind’s s**t.
There’s SARs, Ebola, AIDs, Bird flu And in the woodwork, West Nile too, Each replicating viral spat To mutate, (at the drop of a hat), To complicate enviro’s stew Of global degradation’s brew.
Urban spread and over stocking Nude deforestation’s shocking, Depletion of aquatic life Intrinsically creating strife, Industrial pollution’s goo Ozone depletion... ALL FOR YOU!
Environmental degradation Means the world’s a weaker place, Susceptible to malady Wide spread across the human race. Those animals in corn fed stalls Who never get to see the sun Or graze green grass where honey bees Are vanquished by varroha’s fun.
Too late to save the Hector’s dolphin Conservation’s lost it’s tools, Rastafarian hootchie smokers, Save the whales to f**k the fools. Governments sell the carbon credits Everybody smells a rat Restorations for the birds And social conscience creamed the cat.
Weirdo greenies own the airwaves No one gives a flying f**k That good artesian water’s poisoned By good farmer’s leached out muck. CO2 in global warming Sings it’s song of fast decline Glacial retreat a-roaring Bass relief in blood urine.
I guess the little children’s future Most depends on lady luck, Humankind in mass denial Most don’t give a flying f**k!
