Coal Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Coal

Why close eye to core?
Why only fossil, coal?
Why only fight carbon?

Fluorescent in fabrics
Used to be reflective
Is in full, half-coated
Sticker from thin
Layers of, the plastic
Polymers, like jerseys!

All the bags for wrapping
Everything, to machines
Are made of polymers,
From the coal, and fossils!

What are we talking of?
Gasoline? Kerosene?
Only what is burning?

Half hidden is a lie
For fooling, fallacy!

That is the red herring!

Why to be stupid?
Dumb? Blind? Crazy?

Pollution is not just
Coal and oil in burning!

Fossils are ancestors,
And the ancient forest!

Pollution comes of life
Imposed by oligarchs!

They amass and care-less,
They sell arms, war monger,
With simple intention:
"Kill and burn for more gain! "
