Jack Burns Lives!

the sahara club bent over and said
“stick it in here”

over here in Abbey’s west

he’s dead so go ahead

“what about foreman?”

“oh, he’s gone too,
the fbi got him, and he said
toodle-oo”

and so the he-men businessmen said
“okay, we’ll drill her,
we’ll drill her dry,
we’ll rape her 117,339 times”

the cancer spread
the profits rose
the critters and the trees,
they got the hose

but Mother Earth said
“hey, not so fast,
how long did you think the party would last!”

the flow slowed to a trickle
the investors got fickle
when the scientists said
“sorry boys, but the age of oil is dead.”

According to High Country News, “Oil and gas companies, despite the efforts of ‘obstructionist’ environmentalists, managed to drill at least 117,339 new wells in 12 western states in the last eight years. That drilling rush often skirted regulations and caused significant air and water pollution.”

And while The Sierra Club, EarthFirst! and other groups have failed to effectively protect the environment, help is on the way. Looks like old mother earth is going to do it herself.

“Move over boys! I got this one under control!”
