Foreign Substances

chemical spill
chemical spill
toxic waste dumped
into nature’s veins
contaminating habitats
destroying its wonders
that connect us all

chemical spill
chemical spill
about to enter my body
prepare yourself well body,
prepare yourself well.

mind, heart, spirit
for a bomb is coming
the sacred direction, down
down it shall flow
this chemical spill
bringing body to fire
sacred instrument, fire

the long dangle of waste
pitted in unwilling waters
bringing it to red, red
this chemical spill
prepare yourself well cells
prepare yourself well
for I love you
and i am sorry

bringing down this tent of assertion
the enemy
that will invade you,
invade us
foreign, ugly, unnatural substance
this chemo.
