Growth fetish 

Click and drag the market down and
All the Western world C-A-deletes
Profit loss, share wealth attrition
As if it meant a thing.

And if we talk of nurtured children growing up to love us back, 
Why so blank when Gaia cries neglected lonely tears?  

From metaphor of Earth Mother we expect undying love—and if that icon were of Earth 
Child would we love it more?
