Terrorists pirates all sorts of names
\nbandied about and shot down in flames
\nby this group and others
\nand governments too
\nwho join the affray
\nwith little to do
\noutside of where we live
\nthe environments are
\nthey are shared areas
\nand if we scar
\nwhat is not ours
\nwe are err
\nand energy companies
\ntry to infer
\nthat they are our saviours
\nthat they will create
\nenergy for us if we just wait
\nthey take into account
\nthe investments and they
\noften forget the common essay
\nthat springs from the pages
\nof those local souls
\nwho see and who feel
\nthose visionary goals<\/p>\n
take the Arctic
\na place of such natural worth
\na pristine and cold aura
\npart of our earth
\nto drill there for oil
\ndeep down in that ice
\nis a dangerous event
\nthat could blow in a trice
\nGreenpeace was there
\nwith the heroes who came
\nthe manned the great ship
\n“Arctic Sunrise” its name
\nit sailed and it fought
\nheavy seas to be there
\nto show those drillers
\nthey had to beware<\/p>\n
it was seriously dangerous
\nan really they should
\nnot be so greedy
\nfor now if they would
\ncreate what BP did in the Caspian Sea
\nor the Gulf some years later
\nwhere would we all be
\nthere is no going back
\nonce the spill does its thing
\nits destructive force
\nwas then bound to bring
\nso much down on us
\nfrom a great height
\nthats when our days
\nwould have become night<\/p>\n
terrorists pirates
\nthese are sweet souls
\nwho gave up their freedom
\nand each in their roles
\nsent out the message
\nthat the Arctic needs
\nprotection and safeguards
\nfor within it bleeds
\nand Gazprom and the coastguard
\nand all hell broke loose
\nthe threat to the profit
\nfrom prophets was met
\nwith force with gun fire
\nwith jail and with hate
\nthese are people who love
\nwho consider who rate<\/p>\n
these are angels not devils
\nnot pirates they just
\nlook to each other
\nand we know they must
\nsucceed for we know that
\nthe shared countryside
\nis priceless and therefore
\nwhy would we deride
\nwhat they do
\nwhat they said
\nhow they languish today
\nin some jail in Murmansk
\nwhy do you make them pay<\/p>\n
the price that you set
\nwas too high for us all
\nGreenpeace was really
\nanswering our call
\nthe call of the wild
\nthe sense that was shown
\nin the darkness of night
\nour souls were wind blown
\nwe feel for our comrades
\nnow locked up by you
\ndo you now realise
\nwhat you now do
\nthese are the angels
\nthey should be free
\nthis is what angels expect
\nnow to be<\/p>\n
left in the darkness
\nwhilst Shell soldiers on
\nwhilst their drills over heat
\nwhen the resource is gone
\nif a spill should occur
\nthe world will look at you
\nwith hate in its heart
\nand know it was true<\/p>\n
I will not insist
\nits not my place but I
\nfeel the time is now ripe
\nto let the birds fly
\nthe let them be free
\ncaged up as you do
\nis cruel and unjust
\nand not fitting of you
\nyou are Russians
\nas such you are fair minded souls
\nyou answer to no one
\nbut you know the goals
\nwe all have inside ourselves
\nand one is to
\nbe fair in our dealings
\nwhatever we do<\/p>\n
30 brave souls
\nnow languish in your jail
\nthese are the angels
\nthey are tired they are pale
\nthey are sad they are sorry
\nthey are pawns on your board
\ncheck mate will be signalled
\nthe spill we afford
\nis evident then we can all
\ncry aloud
\nfight back our tears
\nas the miasmic shroud
\nrolls out across this pristine
\nplace we all love
\nlooking down on it
\nfrom a vantage high above<\/p>\n
the sickening splutter
\nthe vomit of ooze
\nthat spreads like a plague
\nit will be violent news
\nto the wildness of nature
\nthat will cake up and be
\nlost in it crude cloak
\nof adversity
\npictures beamed every which way
\nand beyond
\nat that stage there will be no magic wand
\njust a feeling if only we had listened
\nto them
\nthe Greenpeace message, that significant gem<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
