Girt by Campaigning II

This idea
of a gas lead recovery...

put your money on a drill bit
and watch it sink
spinning into the dark earth
beneath the dark sea.
It augers well.

We're spiraling, Australia,
into this gassy pit...
Back in black,
just as they promised.

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms

Reblogged this on Out of the Cave and commented:

Reposted for Earthweal open link weekend #66. I wrote this in October 2020 in response to the Australian government’s announcement of a “gas lead recovery” from COVID19.

I wish governments would get on board with clean energy recoveries, but we seem a long way away from that. I really like the lines about spinning into the dark earth beneath the dark sea.

All governments need to rethink fuel and the current false economy. There is a glimmer of hope in some countries with the increase in wind farms and solar power. I wish they would take wave power more seriously; rather than drilling the seabed they need to harness what is above.

Wonderful poem, such a shame that the country with bush fires isn’t taking measures to reduce climate change…. 😦
