European Airport Carbon Tax Exemptions Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

European Airport Carbon Tax Exemptions

Rating: 5.0


US planes
landing in Europe
must be exempt
from carbon taxes

policy is world's
number one economy
global warming disharmony
melts ice politically

US may have caused
Green house gases most of it
but solution pay out should
help taxes paid fix none of it

China is of exemption
same tax free accord
Russia votes exemption
agrees is right on board

And knowing it or not, that is exactly what they are doing! s
