The h2g2 Poem
Created | Updated Nov 29, 2011
Blind Progress
Even electric eels
See the way it feels,
The ocean rocks and reels
As SST's soar overhead.
Even Hermit Crabs
Feel Pollutions stabs.
Towering Ponderosa Pines
Show Pollutions signs.
The Penguin in the polar zone
Has DDT within his bones.
The technological dragon rears its head,
And Lord Progress says: 'Keep it fed!'
Progress, why are you so blind?
Even Electric Eels
See the way it feels.
Yet, you go blindly on;
And we follow closely at your heels
Over the cliff to ecocide.
After which he'll feed on you.
As Mother Earth Rebuilds.
