PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

are cell phones the new cancer packs?
is verizon the next Phillip Morris?
a massive lawsuit waiting to happen?
but by then cell towers would have made trillions

we'll blame them, and they're too blame
but will we blame ourselves?
for what we heard, if we hit ignore
for far too long

are plastics the worst oil spill?
is Poland Spring the next Exxon Valdez?
a massive lawsuit waiting to happen?
but by then bottlers would have made trillions

we'll blame them, and they're too blame
but will we blame ourselves?
for littering, street park and shore
for far too long

how'd we do it at all? the natural world's so beautiful...

is D.U. the new atom bomb?
is the Mideast the next Hiroshima?
massive birth defects already happening
but never are the victors held responsible

we'll blame their weapons stocks
but we won't blame our own
and what we heard, but ignored
for war, war, war

if we're not sure
but we don't look
do we really want to know?
if we're not sure
ignorance by choice
doesn't relinquish fault
(that cloud spreads around the world)
some knowledge
hardly need to look
do we really want to know?
cause stickin' the mouth
on a chimney top
really, how could we not know?
how could we not know?

don't wish you that cough
don't wish ya cancer
god forbid it all,
but who's responsible?
(besides the next Phillip Morris?)
