Rich terrorists taking vital chemicals away 

For these parasites their profits hold sway

 

Water, WMD – In Detroit…

by Raymond Nat Turner

“We have evidence that chemical weapons have been used” – Some blonde bimbo liar of the state department

                     

               July’s nasty temper and hot, humid 

               Attitude seem responsible for too

               Little saliva, dry sticky mouths and

               No urine for eight hours, or dark 

               Amber trickles, if it shows at all…

               In thirsty seniors at the over-

               Crowded Detroit senior center…

               

               Super fast heart rate of the listless,

               Lethargic mocha Brown baby, sunken

               His sunken eyes and too few tears…

               His fatigue, his irritability, his dry, cool

               Skin and sunken soft spot on the top of 

               His head suggest dehydration has set in…

 

Now, water’s essential for health and life

Thugs use it like a machine gun or knife—

Misusing water, water-boarding, fracking—

Deadly dictators are once again attacking

Is it Asad, or Khadafy, or Boko Haram?

Or, is it Al Qaeda, ISIS, or is it Sadam?

Rich terrorists taking vital chemicals away 

For these parasites their profits hold sway—

Not the dangers of dehydration in Detroit

The rich, capitalist bloodsuckers exploit!

 

Looting those with no bread, no dough

Robbing them of vital chemicals— H2o!

It’s inhumane, these profiteers’ profanity

War crimes, and crimes against humanity

Chemical warfare serving privatization

Profiting off their human rights violation

Exploiters using water as a WMD—

A common from nature that must be free!

A common from nature that must be free!

A common from nature that must be free!
