Of Course We In Canada Are Hypocritical Poem by Raymond Farrell

Of course, we in Canada are hypocritical
Having stripped our foresst to the bare bones
Sold our raw resources for peanuts
To attain that allusive better life
To then proceed to tell resource rich impoverished nations
Not to do as we have already done
How easy it is with full pockets and bellies
To wax philosophical and appear caring
How hypocritical of us to say anything
Given our record we should be silent
Do nothing but hang our heads in shame
And keep our mouths shut.
