Obvious Questions

A young
Fierce voice
Shouts obvious questions
At mute wisdom

Old lords
Sell uber new
Manipulations of
Green plastic

What remains?
Consent protests
Cloud activism
Sympathy...
All
Useless to the
Dying mother
That quakes
Coughs
And spits
Not in rage
But muffled sobs
Of suffocation.

Stop repeating
Obvious tales
To deaf presidents

Obvious Questions

Stop listening
To sales pitch
After sales pitch
Of green campaigns
That flush hours
Of email time
Down sanitised
Sensored urinals
In energy efficient
Buildings that
Burn the midnight oil
Of electricity and
green house farts
Who throw
Two tones darker
Than I like
Avocados
From energy efficient refrigerator
To segregated trash can
To Gentrified country
Far from sight.
Phew... That was close.
We are Green!

Obvious Questions

Stop reading this rant
Typed on a supercomputer
In my pocket
Midnight green of course!
And do one single thing
That makes any difference at all
Everyday.
Keep it a secret...
Tell only your friends
Lest it turns into another
Hashtag
Circulating the
Real world
Feeding off
Nothing but likes
Worth what?

What remains?
You
Today
Now...
Do what you can
With all you have
With hopes to
Hold on to
What remains.
