AstroTurf

By | 1 May 2021

deserts stalk the earth
at ever-increasing kilometers per year
annihilate soil that nurtures new growth
fill the girlchild’s eyes with grit

at ever-increasing kilometers per year
the Gobi the Sahara the Kalahari
fill the girlchild’s eyes with grit
propelled forward like dehydrated race walkers

the Gobi the Sahara the Kalahari
whip up disease-laden dust storms
propelled forward like dehydrated race walkers
valley fever whooping cough meningitis Kawasaki disease

whip up disease-laden dust storms
ridden by horsemen of the apocalypse
valley fever whooping cough meningitis Kawasaki disease
close your doors and windows block the gaps

ridden by horsemen of the apocalypse
you destroy every forest ecosystem
close your doors and windows block the gaps
beat the girlchild from head to toe

you destroy every forest ecosystem
overgrazing the grassland biomes steppes prairies savannas
beat the girlchild from head to toe
deplete groundwater resources suck the rivers dry

overgrazing the grassland biomes steppes prairies savannas
you factory farm cow upon cow pig upon pig
deplete groundwater resources suck rivers dry
arrange the girlchild limp on AstroTurf

you factory farm cow upon cow pig upon pig
lay out a Monsanto picnic on the synthetic golfing green
arrange the girlchild limp on AstroTurf
scorn the havoc wreaked by zoonotic pathogens

lay out a Monsanto picnic on the synthetic golfing green
annihilate soil that nurtures new growth
scorn the havoc wreaked by zoonotic pathogens
deserts stalk the earth
