Thoughts From the Thought Factory

War On People

Corporate CEO's, generals of commerce
planning new assaults
on the working classes of the world
$1000.00 pin striped suits
their modern day uniform
War a necessity to secure bottom lines
globaliesation...strictly for profit
benefiting the global royalty
at the expense of people's culture
world trade organization...high command
controling life giving resources
to debt ridden countries
"Pay or Die"
war declared on global masses
a well kept secret...they own the presses
protesting citizens are beaten, disappear, murdered
ancient cities laid waste
post modern christian crusades / charades
in oiled soaked sand dooms
life blood of capitalism
for weapons of mass destruction
(the ones we know about for sure)
global royalty united again
sifting through the tailings of time.

Now here's a poem of a local flavour:

A Tale of Two Tailings

Listen to Beaver tails
slapping out warnings
too all its relations
behold pristine Amazay Lake (Little Mother)
in all its remote splendor
ancient traditional lake
life giver of this region
thirst quencher too many:
Bears, Moose, Deer,
all the Creator's creations
life giver to First nations people
play ground of the Otter
workplace of the Beavers
home to the finned friends
eco system most delicate
spawning grounds, nesting refuge,
and so much more...
listen to the sounds of nature
in harmony with the land
bird's singing, insects buzzing, fish splashing
Cotton Tails jumping
wild flowers trying to make scents of it all
this lake has room for the Creator's tailings
not 750 million tons of acidic tailings
as proposed by Kemess Mines
Amazay Lake can meet nature's need
but not corporate greed
put your tailings between your legs
and get away from there.
