Exploitation of the Delta
 
fishes, farms, and huts
make no sense to me
 
men, women and children
girded in hand-me-down clothes
 
that’s no sight for cnn
bbc or reuters, brother
 
call the caterpillars, fast
call the goddamned bulldozers
 
crisscross the pipelines
set up the rigs and pumps
 
get the exploitation team on ground
let the operations commence
 
ah, crude oil price is soaring ever high!
and dollars weigh more than peasants' lives!
 
since the despot is mad with power
and the mncs guard our egoli – who cares?
