Comments Off on no comfort
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel sick
battery hen scratching at the dust
producing as many eggs as required to keep the system thrusting forward
campaigning door to door to prophecy these icebergs and windstorms
18 years ago
no comfort in knowing I spoke the truth
Finnish deepsea fishermen paid by commission
resorting to the furthest corners of the planet
happy to be away from their young families
for the glory of conquest in 6month Antarctic stretches
slim pickings
and desperate measures
to sustain our habits
these days
