Raping Mother earth
Seeing how mother earth is raped every day
Polluting the air and water with no end
Scraping the oceans for the last bit of fish
Saving the forests is a joke, they just pretend
While COP 26 trying to make some rules
taking Air and Water for fools
Exposing that 1% of us, more or less
is producing 66% of the mess
Now, they want to go to Mars
with no air to breathe in site
We just need to stop the smoke
then we can see the stars at night
They want to go to Mars
with no clean water to drink
We just need to clear our streams
saving our dams and rivers from the stink
They want to go to Mars
building a new home, but no grass
Poetic that those who will stay
Would need to clean up the mess
when the wannabe Martians are away.

A brilliant poem which hits the mark. It's sad that the mega-rich seem to think there is a 'Planet B', at least for them.
