Analysis of Calling Off Lions
Calling Off Lions
Everyone denying something, list of denials as long as our arms, maybe even legs long
Call the lions, unvaccinated playing Russian roulette, yells vaccinated buffoon deniers
Roman times back, tables turned, the bands played on, parties galore, zero spacing
Losing patience, is what we are doing, smirking, wishing goodbye, would we call lions
Money is as addictive as heroin, down three trillion trees, no one notices, nor cares
Climate already changed, weather shaping our lives, like it did a thousand years ago
Profit is actually the cost of truly replenishing everything that was taken, doesn't exist
Micro world doesn't need macro world, Poles have already melted, just haven't finished
Harvested money through reselling, not the same as virgin money pulled from the ground
Phones permanently glued into our neuron systems, courtesy of thoughtful executives
People thinking we can turn the climate back to normal within our lifetimes, covid deniers
We all deny something important, but we are all, calling all lions, and the lions are hungry
