Absent Minded
The torture of Canada's oil industry
In little rooms they sit
smaller than your average jail cell
with no bathroom
and some of them may bring their own televisions to these camps
sure the government is bribed to approve them
with money
but a lawsuit i foresee
and dear judge
are you going to let a hug jury with money greedy stained hands
take away your rule
that these places
for citicens at work
working 17 hours a day
to provide the wortld with power
and gas
should go through a life endangering job
when those who commit arson or rape or murder
get a bigger room
get on government assistance
and can never get hired for such a high paying job
so therefore they escape the next jail cell....
do you understand?
Imagine working a stressfull job for 17 hours
sure the pay is good
but slowly losing focus
and the place you go to relax
is a tiny little cell
that god only knows how it could pass any regulations
but the workers are soo tired from working
they eat and go right to sleep
and if they dont those who have money
might spend it on drugs
and end up losin gtheir nerbve on what has become an even more dangerous job
as they work 3 weeks on and 3 weeks off
Ive lived in bachelor apartments that are bigger
but chose to quit jobs in my neighborhood that endangered my life
now what about the psychology of the color scheme
do you know why the furniture at mental hospitals is apastelle green?
go ask the super models posing for the camera who are living in mansions
whose gettiong hosed here
the ones working 17 hours trapped in little rooms inthe middle of nowhere
getting yelled and screamed at
endangering their lives
to go back to a tiny room
or the guy who has to smile after working out and flex his muscles
this way and that
here and there
to make just as much money in fifteen minutes or an hour with safe flashes of light?
How do i know anything of torture?
Ive seen it and been through it
and would recognise it in a second
and living in small rooms like that long enough dear oil industry
woul drive a sane person to insanity
so dont be surprised when the petition comes circling around and you
come to find
that you are not the only ones capable of being greedy
with the price of oil
and all the lives you are endangering
for the high tech war machines you fuel
as those digging up the sludge
are treated like they are prisoners of nazi camps
working overtime for their dreams
the government then takes half their paycheques away
wont give them emplotment insurance
because previously they made too much money
so they are trapped in this job
making less money then they think they are
now arent they?
in little rooms
where you end up taking away their danger pay for taxes
dont you
that they wont get back in the future due to the fact
the government whose been robbing them blind
wont help them retire
so as they work this dangerous job and put their lives on the line
and are treated poorly
to retire from their day to sleep in little rooms
big enough for a bed
to wake up to work another 17 hours
which by the way you are breakinbg more than one law
the labor board should be shocked
as should the health board
as well as the mental board
and amnest should consider getting involved
now granted they have a trailer to work out
and granted they have rooms for entertainment
but as they over exertthemselves on alife threatening job for over half a day
dont you think their goin gto lose their focus as you push them too hard
begin yelling and swearing lose their nerve and sanity
not to mention there are no phones that work out there
in these secret locations
you protect from the enemy
where you treat your workers like garbage
and slowly drive them crazy
do you think strategically you are making them strong?
well mr oil industry with billion sof dollars
i smell a pie
and everyone hasnt eaten in such along time
everyone knows the baby boomers need to retire
and are going to go hungry
and i think youre not going to share
so the judge and i are going to do the right thing
and make you
so when you put that pie on the window sill to cool off
its not goingto dissapear but everyone involved is going to declare what piece they want and why
and youre going to discover
your in control of nothing
as the next generation takes over
replaces and corrects your wrongs to make them right
and this you might vicariously find humbling
so please dont make your case on your offense
cause i do understand your rettisaence
i kno wwhy you do nothing thinking you can afford to annually buy your way out of it
but dear oil industry with hands stained with greed
care to kick the can again?
because this is you rlast chance to do the right thing
and i will tell you now
to put my name in your will
and you owe alot of people big!
smaller than your average jail cell
with no bathroom
and some of them may bring their own televisions to these camps
