The Pipeline
absolutely nothing stops the pipeline.
it penetrates all ways of life
all borders, all villages & towns---
the pipeline kills everything in its path if it dare stand in the way
of its progress---
with black gold funneling back to the
land of the free
who eagerly seeks to waste
every last drop that is left on the globe
here,
within the borders of the US &
nowhere else,
the strongest military ever assembled
will stop at nothing to keep that pipeline
burrowing &
burrowing its way through
every possible barricade,
eliminating every question as to why or
for whom it all is to happen---
our way of life here in this
“great democracy,”
is something that you should want &
if you aren’t part of our solution
then you are part of our problem,
and if you don’t give it up to us when we come
steamrolling through your land
with our extended erect *****

we will rape your land &
leave you in our wake---
the pipeline matters
you do not---
go ahead people now,
say it aloud so the
rapists can hear us...
THE PIPELINE IS ALL THAT MATTERS
we do not.
