You have been formally charged
With crimes against society
With crimes against humanity
And the sane just let out a long held-in sigh
With barely enough energy to applaud that
Justice may have escaped from its intolerable imprisonment
But I pay little attention now
Not that I presume anything but your guilt in the extreme
Not because I don’t wish for orange jumpsuits to become your wardrobe for life
But because in the end it’s just another distraction
Another media frenzy
To distract us from the horrors
Of killing off more innocent life forms
And poking holes in the life support system of a planet
Whose welcome we have worn out
Which in your deluded arrogance
Allows you to think you don’t need.
