tar
dark
thick slug
flammable
once used
with feathers
as a means of controlling
a freed race
now used
without feathers
as a means of controlling
fears of joblessness
tar sand
the new saviour
answer
to job lines
but
lines only
the pockets
of societal
traitors

transcanada…

raped
and assaulted
mother earth
wrapped in cellophane
has been placed
beside
the body
of humanity
on a plastic funeral pyre
set on sacred
bituminous sands
so that
mankind
will be able
to watch
them burn
for centuries
to come
as
an eternal flame
a
testimonial
to
despicable
greed

leave the damn sand hills alone…

now
i must make
a disclosure
i lived in
and
love
nebraska
so my feelings
about tar sand
may be viewed
as a little biased
but
i’m not getting paid
to say what i say
like a certain blond
i saw recently
on my computer screen
expounding upon
how
improved national security
and
jobs galore
would be pouring
into the country
because of our good neighbor
to the north
she was obviously
not from nebraska
where common sense
is prerequisite for existence
since she failed
to discuss
all the
advantages
from leaks
in the transcanada pipeline
for example
she didn’t talk
about the cheap fuel
that would be readily
available from
every drinking water tap
nor the preoiled critters
that would be available
at meal time
thus
saving a preparation step
no
she just
rambled on into
the abyss
of marketing greed
leaving me
with a mouthful
of oily canada sand
