What is decarbonization,
Some kind of soft drink filtration?
Enough tomfoolery, won't you stop!
Americans don't call it pop,
Nor consider our planet, while they shop!
A bountiful harvest, was once a crop!
Until abundance, began to drop!
Decarbonization of emissions

Reveal government indecision
Political stonewalling can be quite nifty
New York tried to ban the super-sized soda
The plan fizzled out like flat Coca Cola
Soda makes us wrinkly, like Jedi Master Yoda
Got our parents looking like Abe Vigoda
Watching re-runs of Barney Miller and Rhoda!
The war over our bellies, already waged;
The slimmer, leaner you
As unattainable, as it was staged
Expand the waistline,
And the stakeholder wage;
Public subsidy, in a corporate age
How will we save our planet,
When there's needless suffering, gosh dammit?
Or the cart before the horse;
Lift people out of poverty, first, of course!
Oh to be homeless on a clean planet
Is like a mattress, made out of granite
Comfort for the few
Is too old to be new
The people must be the ones to plan it!
But on the other hand;
Someone's gotta take a stand!
With all take and no give,
How do we expect to live?

The indigenous said it all along,
Replenishing;
Keeps Mother Earth strong.
Otherwise, en masse;
Like the pesky bed bug, we just harass,
Leeching the Earth's resources like drugs
Siphoning off of our life's blood

Bacteria may be all that lives on,
Long after we're dead and gone!
Long after we're dead and gone!
Let the chips fall where they may
Is what the actions of the 1% say
We've heard the sanctimonious stories
Of extravagant, moneyed glories
The behind the scenes, wealthy cravens
With their apocalyptic, underground havens;
Waiting for humanity to end;
Waiting for the herd to be thinned
There's nothing free about free enterprise
To free thinkers, it comes as no surprise
That big corporations are subsidized
Public funds somehow materialized
Poverty's linked to climate change
No meaningful discussion seems kind of strange
The G7 Summit decreed 85 years
So future generations, can shoulder our fears;
Of zero emissions, for our dire conditions
To tax the unwitting into submission!
Canada and Japan said no to 2050

We're one environmental disaster away
From making our children, pay, pay, pay
In 2015 it's all about me, me, me
What does Mother Earth Say Say Say?
We'll just have to wait and see, see, see!
85 years is equal to two American lifetimes
With their shorter life expectancy,
And endless wars and crimes;
Just Say No to Democrat and Republican Party grime
American voters, now's about time!
Fully fossil fuel free,
Say that one fast, times three
But the year Twenty One Hundred

Is far too many a year for one dread
Getting re-elected is power too plenty severe for ones head;
That's how our PM's G7 message read
After he would've long shuffled off
From his mortal coil bed
Does a climate change naysayer who won't be here,

That's how our PM's G7 message read
After he would've long shuffled off
From his mortal coil bed
Does a climate change naysayer who won't be here,
In decarbonization's 85th year;
Expect us to believe that he truly does care?
