Interior Sacrifice

Ryan Ztinkey did a Great job and will now move on
To greener pastures if any are left once he is gone
The tree-huggers are celebrating the end of his fling
But that’s because they haven’t met who’s waiting in the wing
Enter stage left Big Oil’s lobbyist nummero one
David Burnhard’s arrived and eco-nightmare’s begun.

I got Snott Pruitt replaced with a Big Coal Lobby guy
Now MY Big Oil Lobby guy will help him slice the pie
Past restrictions on industry both will throw out the door
To make “interior” “protection”-free forevermore
Big Coal and Oil will end ALL “protections” before long
To exploit “interior” (What could possibly go wrong?)

Ztinkey’s leaving town before his WITCH HUNTERS!!! arrive
But Burnhard will maintain land exploitation nine to five
ALL so-called “protected” resources they will soon make gone
Two genies are out of the bottle so it won’t take long
ALL lands that are “interior” stretching from sea to sea
Will soon be grist for Mighty Mills of Unleashed Industry.

We will be long gone before future kids pay a BIG price
For on the Alter of Profit this nation’s sacrifice
Ztinkey, Burnhard, and the Industries they represent
Like ME and MY kids will look back on avarice well-spent
Remembering fondly past eras when unbridled greed
Exploited the “interior” as OURS on which to feed.
