Earth,IMHO

by Sylvan Migdal

"There is no such thing as a humble opinion." --Terry Pratchett

I’d like to say that in my humble opinion
There’s too much testosterone around
As evidenced by the consant rumble

Of trucks and cars and bombs and falling stone.
And how I wish there was a little more
Intelligence in this broken world of ours

But to tell you the truth, I’d be shocked
If I started to give a shit about the flowers
We trample going about our daily tasks.
I really just can’t and I certainly don’t intend

To start undressing and writing about feelings
And becoming some fucking vegan eco-terrorist.
Go talk to the birds and the bees yourself,
I’ll rob your stung and pecked corpse.
