Beloved, our people drink up the filthy water
Heroines and heroes take deep breaths of killing air
Our guts and lungs are filled with bitter chemistry,
Poison, pain and cancers we lock inside our bodies,
Accumulating toxic wealth, letting no one share it.
Law, progress, justice, these are the names of our diseases.
