Reaching an Organism

Reaching an Organism

They say that when we reach the point of no return

we’ll know about it.

When everything’s so loud that you cant even hear yourself think

It’ll be too late to stop the inevitable

 

looking for why I’m making you squirm  with sexual innuendos?

Then Pause.

The answer lies in that the strength of the message relies

more on the volume of the insinuations

than on the desperation  of the cause.

                                                                                     

Don’t believe it? Ever counted how many women were slapped

On the global- stage before a blindfolded audience  

Till the suggestion of bared of breasts caused the naughty crowd to peak…

Constitutions amended and a surge of raised fists

suddenly everyone had turned the right cheek

 

I’m speaking for the organism

To whom no-one listens

For each tuna suffocating from the oil in their gils

To the polar bears trapped on melting prisons

And each shrub incinerated from acid rain

And the porcupines weighed down by an array of poisons

 

 We can stare at the floor with our hands into our pockets

Or take them out, wiping the sweat on our crotches

Then stretch them up further than we think we can reach

And Reach the Organisms who’s cause we will preach

 

Although we may dispute over evolution

Or whether the world is a God-made illusion

There is no theory that can deploy

That the earth is here as man residue to destroy

 

Listen, I understand,

 the facts are scary, the remedies are bland

and sometimes masturbationescapism feels like the only way out

 

Consumerism is foreplay to the earths decay

Politicians give head to the coming of doomsday

I’ve got a million more metaphors in my gear-bag

And thats not all I’ve got in there ;)

Sorry

So I’ll reiterate although I’ve said it before

Because I know that accepting is humanities tragic flaw

If the simple trick of using sexual insinuation

Is enough to get a few more people to listen

Then its easy enough to do what needs to be done

To put down the polystyrene

and let in the sun.
