Salt and Iron

Salt and iron infuse this dreadful soil.
None responsible will ever visit
This snow-covered land recently aboil.

Seek reasons like avarice, crude oil,
Or yours is mine and tat is tit.
Salt and iron infuse this dreadful soil.

Choose your side, do nothing but see the coil-
Death is details; nothing explicit
In this snow-covered land recently aboil.

Become nothing more than the gargoyle
Overseeing the survivors’ deficit.
Salt and iron infuse this dreadful soil.

Subdued by madmen who would embroil
Us in schemes to their benefit
And set this snow-covered land recently aboil.

Plead vain ignorance and make children toil
While we watch and debate and, on our asses, sit.
Salt and iron infuse this dreadful soil,
This snow-covered land recently aboil.
