At Least We'll All Be Gone


That grab-it-now gouging at the face and guts of the earth will have to stop quite soon
That utter waste of building things with which only to kill and destroy, that surely ends as well
Not much longer will all these river systems simply be used by us solely as convenient drains
At least our incessant, foolish, noisy, advertising braying can’t go on forever

Happily, the car salesmen, real estate agents, lawyers and bankers will also disappear, real soon
Thank god that any day now we’ll stop making pointless noise just because we think we can
At least we’ve unknowingly but irrevocably rushed beyond many decisive tipping points
In any case, blowing shit up in celebration will be forgotten in a very short geologic timeframe

The fall of our lamely-glitzed entertainment empire will be a most pleasant side-effect
At least our wasteful but paranoid night lights will be replaced once more by honest darkness
At a minimum, we can rejoice in the eternal loss of the invisible wisdom of our corporate fathers
Thankfully, politicians will no longer read speechesn that their donors had others write for them

At least no more toxic wastes will be illegally dumped secretly, but profitably, in the night
Fool treehuggers wont have to feel responsible for killing off recently-cataloged, unstudied species
Happily the refrain of ‘too expensive in jobs and money’ won’t ever be voiced again
Healthcare rationing will no longer be a worry as both patients and providers rapidly decline

Maybe the ocean will re-attain its balance far more quickly than greenie whiners ever said
Luckily, its impossible for us to expunge every single living cell on this entire planet
At most only 99% of all the amphibians will be poisoned, infected or bulldozed into oblivion
At least the malls will decompose quickly and the McMansions will be rapidly overgrown

In any case, squishes wont be around to whine about how much they miss those stupid songbirds
Adieu to the mass plunder of simple faith by fictional religions twisted to greedy ends
At least the end of corporate-created, artificially-induced over-consumption is close at hand
One good by-product is the silencing of our loud pride in our willful ignorance and illiteracy

Officials wont need expensive fictions to justify preemptively-defensive wars of liberation
At least tons of foolishly wasted reusable resources will no longer be buried with our toxic wastes
The omnipresent backbeat of political and advertising propaganda will fall silent at last
Finally, the Jews and all their many enemies will lay down together in an everlasting peace

At least all of us wont have to pay for yet another of their foolish financial meltdowns
Happily, our teens wont text a thousand empty but expensive messages per week
Our emissions will be cut to nothing without any intrusive regulations or wasteful taxes
We can stop ignoring the fact that our own overpopulation causes almost all of our problems

Mercifully, more 14 hour per day Chinese wage slaves living 20 to a room won’t be needed
Amen to death to any infidels choosing incorrectly from our many fictional One True Gods
Without regrets, the end of our holocaust against the domestic animals will come to pass
At least, it will be quite obvious that we cannot shortchange any more future generations
