Canadian heavy crude -
fatigue grown cracks coalesce to blow
eight-hundred thousand gallons
into creek and river - fills
thirty-eight miles of the Kalamazoo.
Seventeen hours to shut it down.
Five years - hundreds of millions
to clean-up and comp. It's
good enough now for business to fish.
Company's pleased - with
thirty-eight miles of the Kalamazoo.
Greed can't see obscenity,
feel pain for land and living things.
It says - loosen controls
knowing oil's still there
and will never be gone - from
thirty-eight miles of the Kalamazoo.
