Green Screen of Capitalists

The plea was audible,

but governments mute,

environmentalists on a rally,

axes had a ready to cook sally,

brokers meddled with the soil,

assured trees of mutual benefits.

Impelled to be of service

and a novice to selfishness 

the forest backpacked the family,

relocated to a sea,

in deep water, 

they were out of depth,

sinking away with generations,

mermaids heard no death throes.

Progess leaks of slaughter

and anonymous sacrifices,

from a private island,

a tycoon uploads a post-

'Go Green'.
