talk is cheap

In the beginning was the steam engine

Belching coal smoke powering the industrial revolution 

The engine of profit for those who owned the machines

Extracted from the workers who produced the goods


And the rest is history from then to now

A new geologic era called the Anthropocene

As if all of humanity is responsible

Obscuring the culpability of the capitalist class


For their wars of conquest to devour resources 

Polluting our air and water and land

For creating their ever expanding empire of poverty

Amassing their personal megafortunes 


Their greenwashing words meant to deceive 

In the face of the dire impacts of the climate crisis 

Talking of abatement to confuse the issue

Continuing on with business as usual 


What else would you expect from this system

That promotes private wealth at the public expense

Even as the sixth mass extinction accelerates

The capitalists fiddle while the planet burns
