Our elected leaders
Large bland foreheads like empty projector screens
Beachball waists that wobble like Russian dolls
Handing out empty lots and mega malls
Tearing down green spaces, paving them all
They entrap crusaders saving nature
Through coercion and blackmail, harness their image and savour
The greenwashing power they bestow
And use that to tear down a park before anyone knows.
They'd never felt before, this eruption of glee
With impunity, capital investments set free.
