Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Americanoilic

Americans got hooked on oil
Early and often as oil is
The life blood for all play and toil.
We put the big in big oil biz.
Americans care not of waste,
As long as we get what we crave.
Hypocritical and two faced,
We preach to others what to save.
Americans pigged out at home,
Then went on sprees around worldwide.
The fall of the empire of Rome -
We are slipping down the same slide.

Americans won't sacrifice
Craving for oil at any price.
