It’s no wonder
Uncle Sam’s America
sabotages every climate change treaty
that comes along
Oil is traded globally
in Old Uncle’s Benjamins
and the demand for his petrodollars
is what keeps him in business
The Iraqis and Libyans
can tell you what he does
when someone makes noises
about trading in something else
The day the world converts
to green and renewable energy
is the day Big Sam loses his status
as bully of the nations.
