#100peoplepoems part 51: Piers

There are certain indications 

When an ecosystem’s sick

When the water in the river 

Is gelatinous and thick

When the ocean’s full of plastic

And the air is full of smog

And the only wild predators 

Are packs of feral dogs

The signs are unequivocal 

It’s right that we feel nervous

When the kind of scum I’m thinking of 

Comes rising to the surface.

The kind of world we’re living in

Is giving me the fear.

When fucking Piers Morgan

Has a media career.
