Harlot Nature (2)

Night on Pandora (from James Cameron's Avatar)

Saddened by BP corporation's
hemorrhaging oil
into life-filled waters
of Gulf of Mexico,
I'm reposting this lament.


HARLOT NATURE

I have heard that Nature's a harlot
Legs open and flat on Her back
That She's naked, unbridled and shameless
And prone to unnatural acts
And prone to unnatural acts.

Can I smother Your prairies with asphalt?
Can I murder the fish in Your seas?
Can I milk all the oils from Your body?
Can I make You make money for me?
Can I make You make money for me?

The hungriest whore has her limits
Every prostitute minds her taboos
Is Nature a slut without scruples?
Is there nothing that She wouldn't do?
Is there nothing that She wouldn't do?

Can I shit in the veins of Your body?
Can I suck all Your aquifers dry?
Can I strip off Your beautiful jungles?
Order more of Your species to die?
Order more of Your species to die?

The hungriest whore has her limits
Every prostitute minds her taboos
Is Nature a slut without scruples?
Is there nothing that She wouldn't do?
Is there nothing that She wouldn't do?
