Energy Decline |

Poetry from the British Isles about peak oil My aim is not to scare you But to prepare you As energy declines There'll be less Of what's mine Because its fair To share When less And less Is there As energy shrinks We are on the brink Of a new world order That's much harder Every family Must conserve energy And what's doable Is more renewables Rationing's The best thing For oil supplies That's what's wise Yet the market will decide And prices sharply rise Me, me, me Must give way to We, we, we Or there'll be Hungry Savagery Clean water's What we ought to Sort Together If we're to weather This mighty storm In any civilised form With a shrinking pie My mind's eye Predicts collapse But perhaps Education Consideration Of the issues Will stop the misuse Of remaining petrol Before a mighty cull A mass die off While politicians cry off Tackling the problem Of dwindling petroleum Sad but true Now what are you Going to do? 25 Oct. 2005 Anna Semlyen is the author of Cutting Your Car Use (www.cuttingyourcaruse.co.uk)
