Big oil and my take on this standoff

The unlovely the unhandsome
The banality
Humourless and ponderous
Someone who cannot see
The affection of the indigenous
Their passion through and through
For the wild earth that they stand on
And everything they do

They were our eternal guardians
They ran with wolf and sky
They understood the forests
And the river which is why
Water is to them a prime resource
And it extends
Not only through humanity
But to all of their friends

To have this kind of temperament
This insensibility
To the native people
Whose perpetuity
Is sacred to these lands
Belonging to them actually
And he is the The invader
To where their sacred be

Unconscious to the efforts
Unresponsive to the need
Unaffected by their true resolve
Unshocked by how they bleed
Unsmitten by tHeir honesty
Unimpassioned all the while
They are never unintentioned
Their serenity and their style

I regret that they are waiting
To be badgered by the brutes
The robocops and security
The mechanistic roots
Now pushing up the clods of earth
As the pipe laying is underway
Dragging through ancestors graves
The order of their day

Their disgruntlement
And chagrin
Their uneasiness we feel
Of course they have a grievance
That’s hard to conceal
But to feel the weight of
Law cast down upon them from on high
And helicopters spotlights on them
As they lie

Water is life clearly
As air is life to all
A pipe line full of crude black oil
Really does appal
Threading through the sacred land
Of the ancestors who fell
And all they have is peace pipes
And sage and smudge their hell

Is seeing all this sacrilege
Feeling all this pain
Being beaten with long sticks
And pepper sprayed again
Tazed and threatened by you
And called all sorts of names
It really is pathetic
And Seeing all the games

You lot, yes you big OIL
We all lament tOday
The beauty of the world around
Ruined let us say
It’s odious and repellant
To disrespect them for they
Are the guardians of nature
Who should never ever pay

It’s bad taste and unrefinement
It’s pure vulgarity
To watch these warriors suffer
The in-urbanity
The mannerless performance
What is now uncouth
Disrespecting native women
And their precious youth

They were the first Americans
Whose hope we all can feel
The fear of losing water
Clearly they reveal
Already it is happening
In other rivers so
The Missouri if it happens here
Many more will know

It is with trepidation
The braves come here today
Travelling across great lands
And seas and skies to pay
Respect to all their families
To all the tribes who be
Represented at standing rock
Where your pipe line they see

And craven hearted mercenaries
Unvalient tHey be
Paid to beat the hell out of
The native people we
See all their sincerity
For being what they are
Truer to their ancestors
And on land in which they star

But treated like just so much dirt
Under the oil mans feet
Whose desire is to make money
Be yes the elite
Clear away the dross of life
That the people have become
And deck the yobs in armour
And give them all a drum

With enmity and Ill feeling
Order them to war
Fuel them with such bitterness
And rancour and some more
Talk of them as hostile
When nothing could ever be
Farther from the actual truth
And our humanity

What this pipe line does to the tribes is absolutely terrible
And what does the government of America do sends in the troops the national guard the robo cops the private security
Arrests tazes pepper sprays equips the idiots with live rounds witH grenade launchers
Tanks LRAD’s, HUmvees, sound cannons and all manner of sophistication against people who came with peace pipes and smudge and prayer sticks
And have had to resort to fires and extreme courage and vast amounts of propaganda
And total black out from the media.this is America the free( but not for all only the elite)
