The novelty of environmental education

We arrive at school with

• rubber soles
• superfluous papers
• metal rulers
• plastic raincoats
• tupperware containers
• silicon valley ipads
• and other landfill-destined fads

There's one recycling bin
in the huge car park
where lights burn on
long after dark
and teacher says with ingenious spark
we've gotta put our green hat on
help in the community garden
by the roadside fumes that poison
so of it no one eats of course

This farce is just reflective
of the deepest rooted stupid
and dear oldies chant enlightened thoughts,
like "The children are our future!"
As each generation passes the buck,
we continue to wallow in rising muck,
with no nearby planet to this shit truck

The religious ones keep praying for luck
When their Lord does come, that's gunna suck!
