Call them thieves of energy or
coin another phrase – the days
of patriotic consumption by
energy heroes as household
names is past. It isn’t a time
for bandying semantics or
leisurely debate, the game’s
over – we’re too late to avoid a
crime 200 years in the making.
It isn’t simple where we place the
blame, but believe this before you
seek scapegoats; we’re going to
wear this equally. No matter where
you wreak your wrathful vengeance –
in the breaking is the making of new
friends and greater enemies.
Tho’ alas, it matters not;
you won’t be there...

Hi Bro, Good poem - as always. to whom did you refer in your poem "lying to us all"? I meant to ask you through PH, but it is on the blink so i jsut add it to this message. Also to these green-opposition people? What an amazing power your use of poetic language has. I really appreciate it that you take time to comment on poems and write in such an elegant, lyrical style, can’t refrain from replying to such beautiful formulations. My positive book says our reactions are not determined by what other people do/say, but by how we choose to relate to it. I cannot make any other choice but to reply to such striking formulations, have to express the delight it brings.
