Save your Water for The Devil

Save your water for the devil
Let the young trees die -
the future oxygenators,
our only hope for cleaner air.
Let the flowers die -
Don’t feed the pollinators;
those at the bottom of the food chain.
Water the data centres
so that they can flourish instead.
Let the shareholders
drink the profits until they bloat.
Let the fish die,
the insects too.
The birds can starve.
Sell the reservoirs for housing.
Houses like little boxes
made from petrochemicals.
Save your water for the devil
because he is running this show now.
You will see his image
in all those who are in power;
listen to them and do what you're told.

I am so glad you said this.
I am so glad you said this.
I imagine insects discussing those creatures who think they are intelligent. Would bees invent something which would unemploy them, make them unable to have enough food and water; would woodlice invent something which would change the weather so that it was too hot to live and no rain fell?
Would any kind of intelligent creature allow its fellows to do these things?
