Ten Commandments
for our time
1. I am the one true planet. Thou shalt not have any other planet before thy face. Honour and treasure the very ground upon which thou walkest and all living creatures which abideth in it.
2. Remember to keep holy the watery expanses of the globe, not over-fishing or polluting with bodily wastes, crude oil and plastics.
3. Thou shalt not fight brother against brother nor treat any unkindly and with prejudice for all are precious in light or shade.
4. Thou shalt not spit, for in thy spit, there may be Covid and affliction may therefore spread to those close by.
5. Thou shalt not pursue any wild creature and slaughter it for mere sport. Anyone doing this shall thrice bear the same terrors in Purgatory.
6. Honour thy garden and thy rural areas and use not the destructive powers of glyphosate or any other such toxin.
7. Thou shalt not foment conspiracy theories for thus shall the unvaccinated remain in peril.
8. Thou shalt shun the usage of single-use plastic and recycle till thy head be sore.
9. Thou shalt walk or cycle or take public transport rather than drive whenever possible.
10. Do not envy thy neighbour’s Dodge Dakota for this gas-guzzler produceth pollution and increaseth CO2.
