What Would Teddy Roosevelt Say About This? Would He Walk Softly, or Use The Big Stick???

Standard
A small verse,
Tight and terse,
Pointed at those
Named in this prose.
When the unbelievable becomes believable,
When we destroy the planet that’s our only home,
The criminals who do it
Are Trump and Pruitt,
And we’ll pay for their evil for years to come.
It is so very sad, so awfully depressing,
These men who hold the future in their hands.
They want to mine and drill, no matter the spill
On our treasured, protected Federal lands.
They’re willing to rape and pillage our earthly village,
With no concern for the cause and effect.
They abandon the future, their responsibility to nurture,
The lands they’ve been charged with the job to protect.
And why do they do it?
Old Trump and Scott Pruitt?
There’s little to hide their ultimate goal…
It’s all about money,
That’s their milk and their honey…
And to hell with the future, if the truth be told.
