Rationalizing your Rations

This earth has fuel

that you should consider rare;

As it provides the means for ‘all’ to take care.

Use in moderation and ‘life’ you shall spare;

Abuse it and gain

a ‘half-life’ of despair.

For you are all my children so be aware;

That there’s a formula for all to be fair.

It’s the burden of choice that’s your hurdle to bear;

Where your rate of consumption shall feed how you fare.

And so I hereby un-earth this resourceful solution;

As the answer to the problem of resource pollution.
