“Sustainable” sure is a mightly long word
Politicians just love it – or that's what I've heard
It's an easy quick way to seem quite “green”
Too bad if it's just mostly pipe dream
Our future depends on what we now call “waste”
It's your only resource on a planet floating in space
Just remember this now - when you flush the loo
You're filling our rivers with fresh pee and pooh
In bountiful nature there is nothing called`”waste”
The magic cycle of life means it's all replaced
Beasts, bugs and fungi all do daily toil
That's why we should worship good healthy soil
Many vital skills we now need to learn
To live without the fuel we all love to burn
Composting and bio-gas are top of my list
But somehow this truth has just been missed
So I take the “sus” word with a big pinch of salt
They've got good intentions and it's not their fault
Being creatures of a culture which is built on predation
Prevents their undertanding nature's magic creation
