wax eloquent

the energy crisis that looms
like a mushroom cloud of doom
won’t exist, if you care to hear
a far-reaching vision so clear

deep within your audio cave
resides the potent power to save
therein lies the strength to bear
and the virtuous might to repair

for just one scoop of earwax
daily paid per person as tax
would make soon a decent mound
towering 3 feet from the ground

imagine if you could know
an entire family’s outflow
filled in tasty mayonnaise jars
and dripping out of 5-seater cars

and what if the state were to contribute
generously to the government’s loot
they’d run out of warehouse space
with enough and more refills for days

now think of an entire country
self-sufficient with molten fuel free
the GDP would fly, the debt would disappear
straight out of the populace’s ears
