Rude, Crude World

Written June 18, 2010

-a world in turmoil-
its a sad day in existence
when the soil breathes oil,
when companies cant see beyond their bottom line
and only to profits are loyal
indeed, a sad moment in time..
when careless indifference
causes leaks in pipelines
that continues to seep
"black gold" for weeks and weeks,
rain or shine,
destroyin a local industry
that makes its living utilizin nets and fishlines
destroyin habitat and animal rights,
cuttin down their quality of lyfe
with a BP endorsed knife,
killin everthing it touches,
-land mines-
muthafuckas get arrested for dutches,
over small change,
nickles and dimes,
while those responsible
for this catastrophe, phenomenal
FREE AS FUCK!!,
stay extending a bogus timeline,
somebody needs to take my statement,
cuz Ive witnessed a HEINOUS crime
against humanity,
and if YOURE not pissed the FUCK OFF,
YOU SHOULD BE
surrounded by padded walls
for mental defect
-insanity-
cuz we got this ONE planet, see..
and if we
fuck it up, we're up shit's creek
like a dude doin anal with dukey on the "D",
lyfe as we know it would become a distant and beautifully tragic memory
so keep ya eyes glued to the powers that be
cuz we live and die together,
for worse or for better,
this rock is OUR home,
so what happens on and to it
is OUR responsibility
