ODE TO BANKSY'S ART

Like goats we're on a precipice,
It's the elephant in the room,
Among those chattering monkeys,
We're just howling at the moon,
Our rivers are polluted,
Even pelicans can't fish,
But all those fat cats care about,
Is how to get your cash!
Watch out for those piranhas,
Circling around
They don't want to save the world,
They just want a fleshy pound!
