I. The Narrator


We drink black water
eat black fish
black birds on the skyline

black waves in black lagoons
black streets
black street signs

black bodies movin in FEMA
look up at the black sky
tinted with the oil fume

fire plumes, smokin skulls
smokin tar & oil balls
out of pelican skulls

black times ahead
oil barons high, poor falls
stock fall like gallows

On this oil plantation
and the billionaire pirates
cover the coast with whip scars

black hands reach for black cash
disaster zone with the black masks
black body bags

petroleum poisonin & red flags

Decades pass, oil poisoned river
citizens in black camo
black soljah rags

breathing black gas
drinking black water
black joke, have mercy

poisoned Plaqamines, St. Bernard Big Easy,
where it ain't easy
down here in Louisiana

home of the newage
Black Water Mercenaries.
