Energy’s Suffocating Gallop

Ancient blood soaked sand

Plumes its sticky residue

Beneath rapacious hooves

Dust storms of evil stampeding beside pipelines

Goad flow to tankers

Where ubiquitous black gold addiction

Steers toward pervasive profit-docks

Behind sweat lathered greed

Winds of historic baggage

Tether their historic words and song

Blessings and curses

Exciting swirling vortexes

Windmills of molten fire

Entitlement’s rape and pillage of breath

Of pores once absorbing purity

Evil’s global bubble

Appearing as mankind'

Robed in white zealotry

The blinded hawk-minds

Embrace the Middle East predatory contaminant

Wallowing in solipsistic riches forgotten

Awake only to pick tomorrow’s gluttonous prey

The world turns on turbine propulsion

With oceans bowing to its slavery

Delivering liquid smokestack suffocation

Silent killers preparing ghosts

Of time’s new-century-plague

Ignored

As oil gorged tankers find port

Release their pandemic sleight of hand

A destruction as innocent as rabbits from a hat

Charms the ignorant

Beguiles the wannabes

Wheeled transport

Delivers the demise of children’s hearts

Left to take a number

Unaware there is no lottery

Only loser-consciousness

Adult indulgence clinging desperately

To evil’s mane and tail

As it whips gullible eyes

Into cataract submission

Alien life hovers above

Grieving the minions destined

To find black energy’s ashen dust

Sprinkling its fool’s gold

Upon a barren planet
