Runway

It seems to have been
A simple publicity stunt,
For celebrities to back.
A punt on making a name
For themselves, yet lacking,
In honesty and truth.
Undermining a movement
For less pollution,
Giving in to the ruthlessness
Of capitalist vultures,
Who insist on fining the rest of humanity
For their own gain.
And when the runway
Is built, will they be filled
With guilt and despair?
Or be inside those jets
Champagne filled
And choking the air?
