Thank you all for your comments! This was more of a spur of the moment poem, something I'm hoping to develop further. I used lots of quotes from various people which I do need to cite... (you share a common heritage with earthworms; the earth has a cancer, and that cancer is man; maintain humanity under a half billion; and the last stanza was entirely a quote) ... basically this poem is fueled by infuriating quotes and if I took them out there would be nothing left. Citing the quotes would give them more weight, obviously, though I realize that using quotes so much in a poem is sort of against the nature of the poem... my main point with this was to let out some frustration and to try to get people to see how ridiculous some of these things are. Further comments are welcome, as this is very much still in the works.
