refined methods of exploitation

inspired by an industrial disaster that occurred in my area yesterday

burning and smoking,  
awash in the flames;  
bathing in heat while  
the bathroom's ablaze.

already the people  
are chanting their name;  
call for the head of the  
dog on a stake.   

poisoned the water,  
the air, and the land;  
all that they care is  
they burned up some cash.  

eleven "casualties"  
with no fatalities;  
people will die from the  
smoke that they breathed.  

we are all casualties,  
marked for fatality;  
doomed to consumption by  
corporate greed.
