Ruination without Remorse

As the politicians sell out to corporations Issuing permits for pollution and acid rain They leave a wasteland for future generations And trade election promises for personal gain A public at the mercy of a broken process Watch as corruption takes control Officials living lives of luxury and excess Profit, not progress their ultimate goal Creating catastrophe like Earth has never faced They drill with a wing and a prayer relying on luck Ecosystems and environments lying in waste Safety and caution bypassed to save a buck A Company caught up in its own denial Dispersing oil with poison and antifreeze Will one day be brought to stand trial As they bring death and destruction to the seas Consumer nation that spends and borrows Society with no regard for what’s at stake Misplaced priorities, selling out tomorrows A government with everyone on the take The price for new oil has become too steep Public outcry needs to be set in motion To roar like lions instead of acting like sheep Watching the death of our precious ocean They ask for convenience at any cost A world distracted by digital device Careless disregard for what’s been lost Virtual reality traded for paradise
