HOW GREEN IS MY POEM ?
I’m turning Green I’m not going to be a Martian
But I am going to be excommunicated
From The Church of Technology
Come the next election
I’m going to Vote NEW LUDDITE.
Where has Technology got us
Yes Brothers and sisters .. I’m starting The New Luddite Revolution
Come The New Luddite Revolution ALL Post 60s Technology will be banned.
Mobile phones e mail text messages and satellite Technology
Laptops and MP 3 s will be useless .. Food will be grown in a field near you.
Or even in your backyard No-one will transport water three thousand
Miles across the globe when you’ve got a lake in your garden
And mankind will be forced to Civilise our own world
Before trying to populate others. All technology will be destroyed
There wont be a new mobile phone every week
That uses toxic batteries that leak and pollute
Technology has shrunk the world and shrunk our brains.
Technology is the new evil Technology is the work of THE DEVIL.
Because Technology has shrunk the world, It’s shrunk our brains.
And made the world a more dangerous place .. THINK about THAT
Without technology complex international terrorist networks will
Cease to exist 9 11 couldn’t have happened
The world will become a larger and safer place
I wont be disturbed that I cant programme a video Surf the net
Play useless video games … flash instantaneous photographs of my Willie
Around the world and be able to surf the web MAN
And the sky WON'T fall in if I cant get a signal on My mobile phone
BECAUSE I can still read books and newspapers
And still be content in the knowledge that
A humans testicles are 5 times bigger than a Gorillas.
But Three times smaller than a Chimpanzees. Mozart once wrote a song
Called Lick out my Arsehole and McDonalds Chicken .. contains 3 grams of .. salt
A dog called Laika was the first living being in space
And one in two chemists have suffered from Piles
(Independent 15.11.04)
O.K. its useless knowledge but it wont kill anyone..
And anyone over 75 will be able to die in peace
with cause of death not certified as A new fangled
designer disease or dirty bomb.
Was it Poets who designed designer drugs ?
Nuclear Bombs and Chemical warfare
I don’t think so. So who is responsible ?
Scientists ! QUESTION ?
What would you rather face a deranged Poet
With a two hour recital
A Scientist with a Nuclear bomb.
Or a terrorist with a tube full of Anthrax ,Or a dirty bomb
that he’s manufactured From instructions freely available on the
W.W W. The ingredients of which you can buy
From your local Chinese takeaway O.K. I’m A Luddite
But I know enough to know that all science
Has discovered is a thousand different ways to describe death
A few dozen different ways to delay it..
A million more efficient ways to cause it
But not one single cure for it
..
I don’t need the world wide web I can read papers and I still know
Mans testicles are 5 times larger than a gorillas.
But 3 times smaller than a chimpanzees..
And according to ….Matt Ridley No-one has ever managed to weigh
The bollocks of a Bambon (which is a very ferocious type of Ape)
But Which are enormous.. O.K. Its useless knowledge
But how many of you Techno Freaks knew THAT !
And It wont kill anyone..
So in the words of Mozart. “Lick out my Arsehole”
Join your local pub quiz team
Ditch that laptop Read novels play music
Write Poetry Make Love Not War
Spend your spare time in the evenings at home
With friends smoking weed .drinking beer
And listening to Bob Dylan Records
and Vote Vote Luddite ! The New Revolution
I don’t guarantee you’ll live longer
But it will probably seem like it.
And Death will be natural
And cause of death will be certified as God
If you are religious
And Nature if you are not
Because Life is too short if you think about it
And too long if you don’t
Vote New Luddite. You know it makes sense.
So how green is THAT Poem ?.
