Without Looking Back

trees cut down,
without a thought;
rivers fouled,

never looking back.
mountains blown asunder,
and oceans oiled....

nuclear meltdowns,
all captured on facebook.
coal dust fogs,

carbon monoxide clouds....
drilling, pumping, humping
the earth... stealing the skies....

polar ice gone...
fish floating belly up....
pesticides sprayed

over vegetables in condoms....
no, never a thought,
...without looking back!
