Environmental Racism

You eat linguini
I ask what they put inside
You wear a bikini
I think of nuclear genocide

What are the capitalists proving?
How are we more secure
By systematically poisoning
Those that they view as poor?

Overdeveloped with no choice to opt out
Selective victimization of the powerless
Retribution had a chance, they copped out
Social hierarchies help lay waste the wilderness

Papua New Guinea, Malawi, Siberia, Tibet, Honduras, Kazakhstan, Nevada, Louisiana, California, Alaska, Xingjiang, Maralinga, Emu, Monte Bello, Enewetak, Totskoye, Rongelap, Uterik, Lop Nur....

Shoshone, Paiute, Navajo, Mamsi, Khant, Kazahk, Tamacheq, Moruroa, Fangataufa, Yupigyt, Chukchi, Koryaki, Itel'meny, Yukagiry, Eveny, Evenki, Oroki, Orochi, Ul'chi, Nivkhi, Udeegei, Negidal, Sakha, Nanai, Wopkaimin, Ok, Awin, Pa, Marind, Suki, Gogodala, Lewada, Balamula, Tirio, Kiwai, Fly....

Sick experimenters dropped capitalism into our village coating our future children in cancerous dust.
