SAVE THE PLANET
By william
26 September 2006
Save the planet?
You Missed the point wierdo beardo
Save ourselves more like
The planet doesn't need our patronage
Nuclear cockroaches unaware 
Sulphite loving algae don't care
The planet will still be there
It's just that we won't
And a good thing too having drunk your real ale.

But I have no beard. I would also consider myself an environmentalist up to a point.  
 
What they mean is of course when they say "save the planet" is to retain it as a viable inhabitance for multitudinous species, including us. But you know this. 
 
I suppose you drop litter everywhere, pull out trees, kill small animals, polute wherever possible, avoid recycling? 
 
This is an angry little piece, I think from an angry little boy.

if you read the newspaper you will see that there are serious problems all over the world and we need to do something about it. try to write nice poetry, or at least explore your feelings, don't write this sort of poison. Are you fat?

I have lost all sympathy for you Tinkerbell. You have wounded me. Your poem isn't as good as I thought it was. I must have made a mistake. Are you free for a meal anytime? I think I know how to cheer you up.
Save the planet and your children

An interesting effort and salty ripost from William. I'm wondering/hoping that rather than writing in the first person this poem is a criticism of those too short sighted to see the impact of environmental damage to the planet. I walk rather than use am ugly petrol guzlzing 4 by 4. Is this an instruction to do the same...
