The 1988 Shell Confidential Report
What's a few degrees to a blood and soil oil baron
Plenty of new decrees to flood and spoil land barren
Snip trees, increase disease, ask dazed "how'd this happen?"
Deceit pleas in press releases, glazed sea slick with gallons
What's a few ice melt inches to a recipient of war won riches
It is within permissible limits if it precipitates stocked store fridges
To admit formidable pivots can still fix it limits ways to reward business
At least criminal rich villains still gild illicit gains as they bear witness
What's arable land loss to a shell corp crime boss
New ephemeral plans of flag drops on shores bared through ice slough
New edible brand of snack wasp evokes baked stew of blight crops
New vegetable canned from gland slop ore vein? It is to die for
What's a water protector to the oil sump braced barn raiser
Marked sectors for injections of poison waste upon water table
Horror objectors intend for nets from climate change to compensate stock traders
Supporters of regression hell bent on piously stating it was just fated to remain on paper
What's up-in-flames dead pulp to a scorched earth settling rent pump
Conducting claims, populating experimental short term leveling extensions
Reluctant gains in tolerating monumental recorded swelling temps of wet bulb
All that remains is incorporating confidential concerns of petrol firms to help it get worse
