Dear America, leader of the free world,
How can you stand and watch while this beautiful planet gets polluted beyond
recovery? You set the example, others follow suit. If the
environment isn't one of your top priorities, it also isn't one of the global
community's. Instead you're devoted to the stock market, military
spending, the next pop culture fad. Entertainment that distracts us from
the cold hard truth, that the planet is breaking and we have no desire to fix
it.
Your emblem is not the regal eagle, but a bloodstained ax with stars and
stripes on its handle. You cut all the forests down like there's no
tomorrow. And all the animals have nowhere left to hide from your blade,
just like our minds. We are at its mercy, shaped and shredded into coins
for the consumerist lobotomy.
Your religion doesn't tell us what we really are. Cattle lined up for the
slaughter. Sheep sheared for the oligarchs, naked in their petri
dishes. A parasite, a virus consuming every natural resource before
moving on, until there's nothing left. It doesn't tell us how are are
just tools for the planet's survival, only used for oxygen to provide
plans. When the balance is disrupted, the planet won't think twice about
kicking us off.
