Protest
This rabble needs no rousing
Cold winds keep us fresh
Awake to possibilities
Alert to threats
Against the land
Against the water
Against the people
So we raise our voices
Shout our opposition
To economic interests
That disregard so much
Short-term profits
Don’t trump sustainability
Stewardship means standing up
Speaking out
Finding warrior spirit
A backbone and
Resolve
