I don’t want to see new cities on Mars, nor useless AI in my Apps.
I don’t want energy-wasting bullshit, from wasteful data centre crap.
I’m tired of changing my whole life to help, recycling my water and plastics
When billionaires fly ‘round the globe for weddings and ‘reasons’ just as bombastic.
I’m tired of people who find it amusing, to mock global warming conditions
They claim it’s not real, a joke! with such zeal, then bitch when it defies traditions.
I’m disgusted at what the Big Players do, pollies and lawyers who snatch,
To make it illegal for people to use the rainwater their roofs can catch.
I’m tired of liars, backstabbers and cheats, who pander to those who’re in power
So they get away with their sick’ning display, while making cash hour after hour.
And then there’s the kind who worship the grind, claiming hard work will set you free
When all that that does, is make mills for your boss, while you make $10.63
Late-stage capitalism is rife, and nobody but us seems to care
That coal, oil and water, their reasons for slaughter, mean more than breathable air.
It’s too hot for crops, they wither and die, fungal disease kills off the rest
Yet nobody cares, until suddenly they’re paying more for the coffee they press.
Chocolate’s gone up! They shriek and complain, a symptom of the changing weather
Until suddenly, staples bread, milk and cheese disappear off shelves altogether.
Kick up a stink, the richos don’t care; their money will pad them from famine
Until there’s nobody left to grow food, and gee, only then will they fathom
The constant pillaging rape of the planet, its people and everything on it
Has consequence to those who care for one thing; the utter addiction to profit.

I'm tired and pissed off, so I wrote about it.
