An old grey man is talking
to a reporting celebrity
warning about extinction
on the morning news TV
wearing a woolen jersey
and a old cotton shirt
saying our verdant forests
will soon be dust and dirt
talking quiet sincerely
in a slow and measure way
don't waste the beautiful planet
is what he's trying to say
the reporter in her studio
the backdrop quiet idyllic
in her man made clothes
of rayon and acrylic
make up applied skillfully
with a hint of seduction
extracted from fossil fuel
by product of oil production
she cares about the environment
and agrees it must be saved
but wastes and panders to the rich
it is what consumers craved
he thinks the planet can be saved
the young are the key
fired with hopeful enthusiasm
the reporter can not see
