Don’t Drink the Water

Corporations don’t drink the water

and don’t breathe the air,

so why should they care

if those commodities

are toxic or clean?

You know what I mean:

it’s all dollars and no sense –

so let’s dispense with the pretense.

Until they can make more cash

selling a gallon of water

or a bag of clean soil

than a barrel of oil,

we’ll all pay the price.

But, that may yet come to pass.

Seems we’re heading that way.

And, isn’t that nice?
