MODERN BEASTS
They roam about the streets unchecked
Bold as brass and owing their strut.
Clinking and clanking with every move
They race through our world.
Integral in a way unanticipated even a century ago
These masses of metal ease our lives in one way
But destroy them in another.
Enabling our weakness and causing diseases
Polluting the earth and hazarding lives
These gas-guzzling giants need to be tamed
If humanity is to survive another century (at the very least)!
