Where will we be when all this progress is done?


where will we be when all the forests at last turn into tree farms
and all the jobs have finally been exported

where will we be when corporations build all of the food
and there are no more species to protect from extinction

where will we be when all the districts are properly gerrymandered
and the elections are so much cheaper to pay for

where will we be when our children are full of mercury and lead
and they are bursting with video smarts but empty of education

where will we be when strip malls have sprouted from sea to shining sea
and every brave citizen lives within five miles of a Wal*Mart

where will we be when we import every drop of our oil
but our frightening bombers cannot fly for lack of fuel

where will we be when we are all safe inside the air-conditioning
but the bugs have become immune to the chemicals we are spraying

where will we be when the illegales leave for home
because there are no more jobs that we won’t take for them to do

where will we be when we are permanently downsized just before middle age
and there are no jobs anywhere and we have never saved a penny

where will we be when all our credit card bills come due
but all we want to do is simply to retire and draw out social security

where will we be when Levi's makes every pair of its jeans overseas
and hungry workers down in Mexico lose their jobs to the Chinese

where will we be when all the small plains towns dry up and blow away
and the ConAgra crowd takes over completely as stewards of our land

where will we be when grandsons cannot eat the fish that they catch
and Appalachia has been scraped and flattened for the coal that remains

where will we be when we can't afford new cars or the gas to power them
and our own children sit on the streets in rags with dirty faces

where will we be when our factory farmed fish are full of poisons
and the milk from the mothers that we fight for is laced with PCBs

where will we be when there is no more water for golf in the desert
and the underground aquifer wells make that empty sucking sound

where will we be when the drought just does not stop getting hotter
and industrial crops wither and corporate-owned soils blow away

where will we be when it's all wheelchair and ATV accessible
and our kids beg the conglomerates for temporary jobs at any wages

where will we be when everything we buy, we proudly do not understand
and we do not have the cash to hire someone to fix them

where will we be when we no longer need to save more time
and our lifestyle choices belong to those who manage our bedpans

where will we be when millions contact a fatal influenza at identical malls
and homeland security permits vendors to sell your viewing habits

where will we be when the only real broadcast news is subsidized by the state
and conservation is merely a hobby, smirkingly ignored by those in real power

where will we be when our students finally learn the value of a real education
then realize with growing anger that the good jobs are nowhere to be found

where will we be when global competition pays us all 70 cents an hour
and the world finds itself, at last, in an egalitarian corporate economic balance

where will we be when the educated far outnumber the jobs that remain
and the ignorant and brutal can no longer prosper safely within our midst

where will we be when the next demagogue simplifies all the answers
and how will we avoid a war that kills at least two hundred million

where will we be when all our engineering tasks are outsourced quite routinely
and research and development is quickly farmed out overseas

where will we be when all our clothes are made in foreign lands
and the only things we export are used packaging, corpro-food and raw materials

where will we be when everyone gets the same tiny bite from a fast-shrinking pie
and the corporations at last merge with their partners in government

where will we be when we fall just like the old soviet union
and foreign investors abandon us to our unpayable debts

where will we be when the bills come due and there is no more refinancing
as our own poison dust is carried over us by the hot and drying wind

where will we be when the yellow and brown saviors come to buy our homes
while the european brothers we alienated simply smile politely as we leave

where will we be when we finally rid ourselves of concerns over the biosphere
and we can concentrate on the last of the feasible extractions

where will we be when all the coral reefs bleach out and wash away
and the economic forecast far outweighs our environmental scorecard

where will we be when religions compete freely on a global scale
and the venture capitalists take them public for franchising fees

where will we be when we have little remaining except our nuclear arsenal
and the biological and chemical weapons we have stored in the desert

where will we be when high tech meets those three upon their horses
and we cannot simply point and click again to solve our real problems

where will we be when the red Chinese smile upon us from the moon
and still we let them ship us things built by the slaves we are becoming

where will we be when all the baby boomers morph into doddering botoxed zombies
still demanding more than those before them for doing much less

where will we be when there are no more dolphins to perish as simple tuna by-catch
and the sharks have all been slaughtered to make soup of their fins

where will we be when our wonder drugs do not protect and patients rot away
and the amoral without foresight go forth and genetically modify the world

where will we be when drinking water costs more than rationed gasoline
yet comes in dirty buckets siphoned from contaminated wells

where will we be when the market value of a human life bottoms out once again
while the faithful suffer quietly all of their lives, sustained by a fairytale heaven

where will we be when the conglomerates have finished all their acquisitions
and southern china has no more farm land but lots of empty factories

where will we be when the fix to the genetic modification problem goes awry
and the ultimate solution involves unforeseeable risks and too many trade-offs

where will we be when the Israelis fence the Palestinians into a sandy ghetto
but their loyal soldiers shoot only upon orders from their superiors

where will we be when the Kamchatka tiger leaves no more silent footprints
and his mighty brown bear brother shuffles off into the void as well

where will we be when the songbirds are no longer heard in our backyards
and who would even notice while playing video games upon big screens

where will we be when we realize our food supply is full of poison
and the government cannot blame terrorists for this corporate crime

where will we be when the most heat we can afford barely keeps our pipes from freezing
and we can no longer ignore the heat because there ism more no air-conditioning

where will we be when we create a digital life-form from among all our images
and they take into account the things that we choose to ignore

where will we be when the world realizes your son is not worth ten cents an hour
but their purchases of treasury bonds assumed two hundred dollars per day

where will we be when rodents become a vital part of the food supply
and boiled water is not used simply to make a little tea

where will we be when proud male lions no longer bring down filthy hyenas
and fat men with thinning hair cannot drive their large and loud pickups

where will we be then, it’s pretty easy just to ask right now
and the drunken Inuit watch the polar bears retreat forever along with the ice
