Out of Gas

From  http://dieoff.org/page125.htm  :



What do you think it will mean

To run out of gasoline?

With no change in routine,

We’ll soon reconvene

Right back at Olduvai ravine.

The steady increase in gas prices

Is soon going to lead to a crisis;

It will open some eyes

When, to our surprise,

We’re unable to run our devices.

While often it’s quite rightly panned,

Economics explains what’s at hand;

We can all understand

Collapse that’s unplanned:

It’s simple supply and demand.

Some people try to proclaim

It’s all due to some scapegoat they frame,

But it’s how we've evolved

And our problem’s not solved

By finding someone to blame.

Soon we won’t have any gas

For getting to work or to class,

And without food we’ll see

That there won’t even be

Any gas passing out of our ass.
