Water, WMD – In Detroit…

“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!
