Extreme Measures

"Global sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption, and set levels of mortality control" Maurice King

EXTREME MEASURES

It's an excuse, I say

Though based on a bit of fact

As human inhabitation puts

Our world on a negative track

Just as climate changes are gradual

Science can continue to explore

While human consumption of energy ebbs

Not the drastic measures put at our door

Changes that will put us in poverty

As costs continue to rise

Regulated surcharges for energy

Manipulation in disguise

Our consumption will be limited

To what they feel is for our own good

Sources of energy from fossil fuels

Will be banned in our neighborhood

But the most shocking cures hidden in their books

Will be that of population control

With abortions being mandated

And the death panels sitting in charge of old souls

When extreme measures overtake good sense

And make life a burden to bear

When with failure to trust science we focus on calamity

Is life worth living scared?
