World wide mass suicide

 

We know about the big black hole.
We heard about grey days and Chernobyl babies.
We are aware of the fragile system.
We know it’s cruelty that puts meat on our tables.
We wear products that have been tested on puppies and monkeys eye balls.
We spend more time in the mirror than reading the paper.
We let the light switch on knowing it eats away our oxygen.
We drink Cola that dirties our water; makes grease melt and kills our brothers.
We want big diamond engagement rings that slave nations and support wars.
We love air conditioning; towel heaters and more electric wonders that crush our lungs and will burn our children.
We don’t care to complain or protest about the new nuclear power stations being build.
We don’t even know what bottom trolling means.
We don’t think whaling is our problem.
We like our sea mercury delicacies and we pay good money for it.
We drink and feed our babies milk filled with pus, painkillers and antibiotics.
We spend our evenings pumping TV, alcohol, amphetamines, ecstasy, coca and take-away.
We drive poison machines everywhere and spend our savings on fitness programs.
We build more new roads; new houses; new streets and let old bricks became needle disease containers.
We travel inside aeroplanes that burn our sky line.
We transform oxygen making beings into paper and sell it cheaper than recycled.
We wear leather shoes, sheep skin jackets and rabbit scarves.
We are more worried about how good it looks than how many children did it.
We are not ignorant.
We just don’t care.
