Short Term Profits
(For the Kochs and Canada and then what?)

Al Gore to Obama: "No KXL pipeline."
Let the Canadians prove that all will be fine
With no spills, leaks or ruptures when they turn it on,
And for many years after the Koch Brothers are dead and gone.

Let them rebuild their refineries to process what crude they've got
Rather than spill their tar sands all over the lot.
Either that or build new ones on the Canadian coast
Let all spills occur there where Canada is the host

Who will export and profit short term,
Until the climate changes and locals begin to wiggle and squirm
At the weather extremes including the drought,
And rip what is left of the KXL out.
