It Takes All Torts, And Tortologies

Every time I receive a campaigning email
that chalks up another triumph for it's backers
against corporations in court battles
where rich anonymous shareholders
seek to destroy some particular part
of the ecology of the planet
for their own peculiar gain,
reading the email feels much less to me
like any sort of victory but a repeat of the past,
when similar battles were merely postponed,
in order for similar arguments to be set up
once again, for other, never ending court cases.
