Energy's Suffocating Gallop

Energy’s Suffocating Gallop by Odin Roark Ancient blood soaked sand Plumes its sticky residue Beneath rapacious hooves Dust storms of evil stampeding beside pipelines Goad flow to tankers Where ubiquitous black gold addiction Steers toward pervasive profit-docks Behind sweat lathered greed Winds of historic baggage Tether their historic words and song Blessings and curses Exciting swirling vortexes Windmills of molten fire Entitlement’s rape and pillage of breath Of pores once absorbing purity Evil’s global bubble Appearing as mankind' Robed in white zealotry The blinded hawk-minds Embrace the Middle East predatory contaminant Wallowing in solipsistic riches forgotten Awake only to pick tomorrow’s gluttonous prey The world turns on turbine propulsion With oceans bowing to its slavery Delivering liquid smokestack suffocation Silent killers preparing ghosts Of time’s new-century-plague Ignored As oil gorged tankers find port Release their pandemic sleight of hand A destruction as innocent as rabbits from a hat Charms the ignorant Beguiles the wannabes Wheeled transport Delivers the demise of children’s hearts Left to take a number Unaware there is no lottery Only loser-consciousness Adult indulgence clinging desperately To evil’s mane and tail As it whips gullible eyes Into cataract submission Alien life hovers above Grieving the minions destined To find black energy’s ashen dust Sprinkling its fool’s gold Upon a barren planet
