Hello Mr Businessman- Zoe Eagle

Hello Mr Businessman

how are you today?


I was wondering why is it

when I shut my eyes and picture you

all I can describe

is a little tiny blurb so far out of reach

that my mind begins to compare you

to the stars in the sky


except their illumination gives me navigation

and the only thing your contamination does is leave me with my imagination


I can't even pretend to have the slightest idea of who you are

since the concept of talking to you seems so far

so instead I rely on our mayor to be our communicator

but I know you're bribing him to become one of our traitors


I'm sorry Mr businessman

i don't mean to point fingers

it's just not having clean water

makes existence itself so much harder


you are like the chemicals you put into our ground

unknown to the world and harming everything around

in hopes your responsibility for the decline of this fixture

becomes diluted and lost inside of the mixture


i don't understand why I have to plead

and to beg you to step aside from your greed

to realize you that the toxics you're putting in my water

matters more than the money you're going to leave for your granddaughter


because if my generation can't even survive

why do you assume that she will be alive
