On behalf of Humanity

What you do on behalf of Humanity
And Life on this planet, which we
Share for a few score years my dear friend
And depart to become History
Those unmasked devils
On Cairns reckless rig
Slinging their bit in the sea
Drilling for oil in the rare arctic waste
Leiv Errickson, and company

Activists, heroes for certain
Whatever the Cairns people say
Safeguarding our world for the next generations
Fulfilling their spirit Today
2 weeks in jail, then deported
A reward for the skill and the pain
To take on the corporate giants
Fuelled by great profit, and gain

a massive lawsuit thats what they do
Bang their big drum and just try
To deafen the sensible people
Its the bullies approach, and is why
No Spill Response Plan, is to happen
Arrogance here over rules
They’d cry just like babies if it went wrong
But at present they are complete fools

Its awful to think what the corporates view
Is profit ahead of whatever the do
Financial clout is the weapon they use
Any margin of error its to them a ruse
The addiction is money, followed by oil, the need, so some bleed, it makes my blood boil
These vipers, these barons seek spoils its their call
Their addiction is totally right off the wall
They can’t see what’s happening not any more
Greenpeace and Cairns are clearly at war
But many will stand, with you I send my name,
Old now and crippled But I have a flame
Still burning in me, that can light up the world
And these corporate scum when together we’re hurled
In the maelstrom
of what is an explosive affair

The Arctic must be saved
For all Earthlings to share

I have added my name Kumi
