Lamentations of Edacity


Efficiency! Yes that’s the need. Efficiency!

The erring nation seeks in greed more energy.
The eager miners drill indeed more earnestly.
The ever-growing human seed gives eulogy
To Earth, entombed by their decreed edacity.

Efficiency! That was the need. Efficiency!

The empty nation failed to heed the entropy.
The ego-driven claimed a creed of equity.
The erstwhile saviors tried to plead equivocally
But avarice did yet exceed their empathy.

Efficiency! Will you take heed? Efficiency!

-R. Samuel Braden (21-April-2018)
