aim a blow torch at my eyes
pour acid down my throat
strip the tissue from my lungs
drown me in my own blood
choke my baby to death in front of me
force me to watch her struggles as she dies
cripple my children
let pain be their daily and their only playmate
spare me nothing
ruin my health so I can no longer work or feed my family
watch us starve
see my children drinking water at night to fill their hungry bellies
poison our drinking water
never warn us of the danger
cause monsters to be born among us
make us curse God
stunt our living children’s growth
say it’s nothing to do with you
don’t ever say sorry
for eighteen years ignore our cries
teach me that my rage is as useless as my tears
prove to me beyond all doubt that there is no justice in the world
you are a wealthy american corporation
and I am a gas victim of
