Contamination Nation

Daily we face different kinds of aggravation,
but there is one type which by man has its causation,
and it merits an immediate termination.
But because of modern “civilization”
and the greed of many a corporation,
it’s doubtful we shall have the consolation
of ending modern man’s contamination.
I’m not talking parasites or the visitation
of bacteria from eating a crustateon.
I mean the one of worsening gradation.
It’s environmental, and in my evaluation,
is the worst of all, for it has manifestation
in things consumed by us or by our inhalation
of air of course! It’s an abberation 
for which we need to have more constertnation!

Society should have mortification
for what is being done. There’s no good explanation
to offer our descendents. The concentration
of chemicals and also of radiation
along with nitrates in our soil’s fertilzation
is cancer-causing, and now inflammation
is affecting nearly all the population.
Politicians do not act. Procrastination
may very well end in our obliteration!
It’s like murder through premeditation.
And this murder uses no discrimination.
What do you think? Is it this country’s destination
to leave our kids with total devestation?
Surely in this mortal realm there can be salvation!
And so I finish with this small summation:

Unless we act, we’ll remain, for the duration,
in our station of a Contamination Nation.

A crustacean is really an arthropod, Who we found out was made by God; Is immune, To sand dune, And never modified to place in sod. Jim Horn

It's worse than that. Inflammed brains is the root cause of 95% of mental illness, leading to multi-billion dollar psychopharmacology fraud, which beneficiaries are covering the truth. Worse than the financial fraud is their poisoning of millions of people worldwide. The poison makes the people ill, but they're given drugs that keep them happy -- which they call "functional" and "doing well" or "improved".

Sadly we are a species that will bring about our own destruction because of the inability to look beyond ourselves and immediate gratification from perceptions that we create to justify our selfish desire for immortality because we cannot comprehend we are mere mortals, so we become a destroyer of worlds without fear, the contamination is not the nation...it is us, we are the contamination...good luck my fellow contaminate

Yes, we all have some part in it. However, we cannot control the stupid FDA and the horrid things they allow to be used in our foods and drinks.
