Global Vomit

some black gooey stuff

emerged from  the bottom

under emerald water

trapping an entire civilization

in it's fragrance

it's convenient charming essence

of self propulsion and frantic travel

it fooled us all

the wealthy and impoverished alike

accepted the inevitable

oil cracking to gasoline

tranforming our lush world

addiction rules the land

now we feel the pangs of remorse

as the vomit rages across air land and sea

taking life and livelihood at will

defiling and dishonoring  everything it touches

we, back in the drivers seat

check the rearview mirror

for what is to come
