clammy slippery hands
goo-ish dark mineral oozing
from below surface skin
power harnessing pulsations
jarred – an electric shock disturbance of a country’s heartbeat
above surface
plastic surgery of a state, extreme makeover

plunge through their skin…
insert straw. sip and draw out
the natural consistency of oil, crude or not berates who they will be
manipulates and rapes who they are
while the past of other countries is such. ethiopia has recently entered the oil realm…shook hands with malaysia on aug 8th...
