Exceptional A catch cry covers up much truth. Drill, Baby, Drill. by Barry Penfold Artwork by nikman at FanArtReview.com

Whoever made up the catch cry "Drill, baby, drill" Must have been a bit of a dill Or they were particularly ill Because it gives me no thrill To tell my grandchildren that nature it will kill. Those who possess arrogance and ignorance or even show indifference Must take responsibility for the future generations experience Which will no doubt, be one of pure resilience No smiles or laughter just one of pure existence. If you are one that wants them to play Fight the fight and ensure you stay Let them not become a form of prey Defend against the consuming grey Because there is nothing quite like the sounds and sights of those at play. Recognized Author Notes Political catch cries inform no one as to the damage ahead. They mean nothing.
