it
is eel-like
the
reach of corporations
who
worm their way thru
loophole
after loophole
to
take imminent domain
over
the landscape
for
the sake of some coal
or
even black gold
and
often we are told
It
will be good for the nation
but
this is a nation
of
encroaching corporations
who
have sky-scraped
through
Mount Olympus
to
control the laws that
govern
us
and
corrupt the ones who swore
to
protect us
this
land is no mans land
when
it can seized by a court order
stolen
by bureaucracy
by
proxy of a bank
It
was only a matter of time
before
a new hydra was born
out
of the entrails of a dead plutocracy
whose
oily tentacles
have
now reached across our waters
across
our reservations
selling
a pipe dream
To
an awakening nation
It
is time to fight oil for water
It
is time to fight oil with blood
for
we have countless ancestors
fighting
through us
fighting
with us
let
their voices slay
the
many heads
of
the black snake
let
our words be the scythe
let
our prayers be the fire
that
cauterizes the wounds
of
this greedy beast of an empire
