Anstey - As usual, fun title. the last stanza i like very much. the first, i would love to see you find a real rhyme there.
Jen - Maybe this would help the last line work better?
Tell me you don't use oil to cook french fries
You tell me I'm a destroyer baby
I remind you only one of us lies
ShannonV - You should just call this "eveyrone who doesnt think like me is an idiot". Since.. you know. that appears to be the case. At least I've found that to be true in my own life.
Also, is this a song? Like, lyrics. If so, I can see the "baby" thing working, but otherwise I'd totally nix that.
Mosquitobyte - A song? hmmmm....not such a stupid idea, we need someone to compete against all the tree hugging john Butler types! lol
As for the "Baby" used in the piece, it wasn't used in the way it oft is in songs. In this, I've used it as an apt description of the thought process of Green Peace members - infantile. How on earth can they consider themselves rational? Only an infant would think their arguments and methodology logical.
End.

Mosquitobyte - he he he Shannon, I have to comment on your suggested title. It's not that no-one thinks like me, though that is certainly the case. Poeple at best can only think in a similar fashion to others.
Having said that, I, and others who think in a similar fashion, are truly surrounded by idiots who forget the following:
Humans are animals too
We are carbon based life forms, so cannot be carbon neutral - ever
Plants are life forms too
All Vegetarian food (including the eggs for those fond of quiche) was once alive also
Green Peace vessels pollute
The list goes on.
Morons.....the lot of them.
:P

ShannonV -
"Not such a stupid idea"? are you trying to woo me? I wish people would always refer to my ideas like that. "hey.. tha'ts not moronic at all!" niiice. 
. no but really. if this was a song.. you could go two ways with it. one would invcolve making it way more in your face and adding a lot of "fucks"... then it could be a punk rock song. OR you can go folksy and strum your guitar while you sing about your hatred and it would be incredibly ironic.
and i see what you mean about the baby thing- but to me it just comes off as condescending. like oh yeah, real smart BABY. you know, sarcastic-type. which is a fair enough stance to take, since apparently greenpeace deserves it (i know virtually nothing about them but am willing to bet they suck, as do all simple-minded extremists).
sounds like you feel the way about green peace the way i feel about PETA. PETA is long due a scathing folk/punk song from me, by the way. its gonna be called... I HOPE YOU ALL DIE IN A FIERY EXPLOSION AND ALL THE ANIMALS YOU FREED FROM THE ZOOS DEVOUR YOUR USELESS DEAD CORPSES. but probably not. but yes.
also, is there any way you can infuse this poem with more hate? other than the title, i'm just not feeling the hatered shine through. maybe you could mention some of those reasons you listed in your above comment. cuz remember.. hate is all you need.
fact: i even had to edit this comment to include more hateful remarks towards PETA. FACT.
Mosquitobyte - PMSL!!!!!
Me doing hate? Never....lol.... Some would say this is a pleasant change from my normal scathing pieces against such idiocy.
you've got me thinking though....I may have to get out the crayons and scribble a new hate anthem on the weekend!
Mos.
ShannonV - Heh! glad you're considering rewrites. they are hard but sometimes bear nifty results.
and.. to be clear. i wanst being sarcastic (for once) when i suggested that you infuse this with more hatred. i am being completley serious. MORE HATE MORE MORE.
Celticlion - I wish the poem had something in it about recycling/ murdering her so that her organs could be donated to someone worthier. That would be an appropriate reason, in line with her thinking for killing her off. I say take the poem several takes further toward outright brutality for philanthrophy's sake, since that's what so amny of these greenpeace types do. They justify any and all acts by claiming their superior ethics as a cover. The poem might do the same thing and eliminate the sing-song quality it has now-or keep the sing-song and make it like one of those puke-worthy folk ballads some activist screams while he abuses his guitar on the steps of Congress. Just some ideas. I like where this is going, Mr. MByte....Yours,C
Celticlion - Oh, I just thought of this as I clicked submit= donate her organs to a dog!...That's what a true "Humanitarian" would do, don'tcha think
Mosquitobyte - Nah, I wouldn't donate her organs, I don't support prolonging the lives of anyone terminally ill. I guess you could suggest I'm more environmentally friendly than a green who donates organs!
Just edits an error and saw your "dog" suggestion, PMSL!!!!
