~we want~
The lawyers are rising,
jaws snapping,
primordial ooze dripping,
and corporations fear,
sue here,
legislate there,
as Adam and Eve,
in Eden garden,
in affidavit state:
the apple had no warning,
a verbal declaration was insufficient,
we just had to climb the tree,
and there were no warnings on that,
and there it was,
an unknown fruit,
devoid of labels,
to devour....
and the consequences
we want restitution of paradise lost,
we want compensation for emotional hurt,
we want punitive damages,
we want.....
we want a car and condominium,
we want a jet,
we want plastics,
we want an environmentally sound world,
we want them locked away,
just not near us,
we want the poor to be treated better,
just don't tax,
we want,
the new generation proclaim.
regards and thanks,
Sean
