I, the today

I,
the ‘today’
care a damn,
about climate change,
ecological, political,
mock those who voice;
know as much needed
In FOMO..
Instead, follow celebs,
pompous life
tag pals in memes
click selfies; shining backdrops
AQI, Jungle fire
Earth’s pyre,
are uncool topics
Aping; gaping skies
at ‘discounted’ price,
Past conditioned me
In Plastics;
Re-usable demeanor, single-use things
Let “tomorrow” choke and cough
as I, knot the noose…
