externalities

extractive industries foist off the cost
off ecosystems trashed to make a buck
each river dammed's a verdant eden lost
the frontier mindset couldn't give  fuck
deforestation forced  a shift to coal
and now our oysters strain to make a shell
the fossil carbon dug out of that hole
has made our oceans an acidic Hell
while Dyson dreams of planets where we'll roam
he disregards six thousand years of past
we've made a dunghill out of this, our home
what's irreplaceable's eroding fast
we fight for mansions on these hills of trash
we've built ourselves in the pursuit of cash
