She'll Not Shill For Shell

 

She decided

she shall no longer

shill for Shell

nor for those squeezing

oil from shale

nor for those whose

sea drilling

is polluting the shoals

and shallows


But before she starts her

new life, she'll

travel to the Seychelles

and gather unoccupied seashells.

A cleverly structured shout

A cleverly structured shout out to a person of integrity (or it could be interpreted as Gaia Herself) who can no longer bear our reckless plundering and ravaging. The alliteration of "sh" was particularly meaningful because it is reminiscent of an ocean sound which connected me to the grandeur of our imperiled seas. Very effective.
