smug smoggers
why are us humans
such smug smoggers
why must we fill the air
with our impotencies
with our exultations
of diesel fuel
and toxic liquids and gases
our efforts of survival
seem to our block
the shine of the distant stars
that precipitate our dreams
our hopes, our futures
and plans for distant impacts
on foreign shimmery moons
we must be careful
not to disturb the equilibrium
between hopeful wishing
and the deeds of an honest
humanly existence
stuck to the rocks and oceans
that decorate the mountainsides
they serve us only slightly
at elevating us closer to these
cosmic precipitates
of the most regal emanations of man
its time for us to adorn
the pseudonym of smug smoggers
who snigger and pout
when things don't work out their way
the manse controllers
of universal expanse
may notice we are missing our lessons
and turning our homework in late
every day past the due date
we can see another span
of pure white stars
flicker and fade
until eventually a dense umbra
of darkness and evil
will envelop our auras
and cloud our little human minds
you may look towards the sun
for guidance and wisdom
but be sure not to stare
you may drink from the fountain
of celestial drippings of the moon
but be sure to not get drown and drenched
our else the north star
might exist no longer
and our cardinal compasses
will spin out of control
and burn a hole in every denim pocket
or dress pant snare
we must act quickly
before the heavenly gasses
volatize away
and we are only left with sulfur fumes
and itchy burning
crimson clouds of hell
