Why the Species is Doomed

You've got your birds in hand. Congratulations,
You pathetic fool. The money's good in oil
Drilling. Don't you love your monster car,
The food you get from far-off places you
Can't point out on a map? Your leaders tell
You all is well. They've got the world
Guarded. Those without won't ever get
To you. Besides, this talk of global
Warming, fires, floods and refugees,
Refers to things which haven't happened,
Maybe won't, or, if they do, will happen
Sometime in the future. Why prepare for
What's to come when life is pleasant now?
