POETRY: DAVID GROULX

BROWN JACQUERIE

These men who talk about war
like they know how to kill people
yeahhhh
like they've learned how to kill people
professional like,
in the millions
 
Yeahhhh baby, jets, bombs, ships, drones
we got it
you got oil
we want it
you got lithium
we want it
You see,
our people are going green
 
We need lithium
get those fuckin Indians out of the city
We don't need to hear that mother earth shit
unless Johnny Depp says it
cause he smells nice
like oil
