From her carapace the black blood spills

From her carapace the black blood spills,
Carbon cataract, capacitor of ancient sun,
Blood to nourish, Gaian blood which kills.

Oiling our emergence, lubricant of thrills
Catalyst of commerce and smoking gun.
From her carapace the black blood spills.

Desert sumps drained by ardent drills,
A billion barrels burned in flight and fun.
Blood to nourish, Gaian blood which kills.

Hence powerless, people plead, hunger wills
The slaughter: Christian and Mohammedan,
From her carapace the black blood spills.

The world wakes to its addicted ills
Admission to the sauna needs a gun
Blood to nourish, Gaian blood which kills.

The remaining wise will hone their skills
Cleverly, before the verdant earth is done
From her carapace the black blood spills
Blood to nourish, Gaian blood which kills.
