seize the refineries

   we're told

   there's a
    refinery shortage
    brewin'

   today

   these
    good old
   united states 
   contain

   150 refineries


   and 
   we''re told 

   they're
   all puffin away
    at "practical'
    capacity

   interestingly

   there
   hasn't been
    a new refinery 
   built here
    in 25 years


   some thing stinks

   i say

   lets seize  em all
   and
    find out
    what 's up


   =====================





   federal 
   seizure?

    childs play really


   all we gotta do 
   is 

   pass
    a  clean
    output
   standard 

   so reasonable
   so sane

   that  
   the profiteers
    quit the game

   no more
    of this 
   fool's compromise
   take it in the can 
   ostrich shit

   set a standard
   for once
    the globe
    can actually  live with

   one
   that finally
    comes down
    on the future's
    side
   of any 
   scientific
     margin
   of error

   do it 


   and brothers 
   and
   sisters
    watch 
   the profit  chasers
   desert
   those old rusters
   of theirs
   in a coney island 
   second
   ===============

   it involves
   a simple two step

   step  1 
   congress 
    criminalizes violations 

   (violation leads to abandonment)

   step 2
    abandonment 
   leads to imediate 
   federal seizure....
   ============================

   they say 
   we got a capacity squeeze?


   wellfuck

   if the tower boyz
    say they can't
    make enough money
    to build 
   new ones anymore

   what with all 
   the red tapes
    and
    green trimmings

   well
   maybe uncle 
   can
   get the job done


   lets find out

   we can always sell em back 
   to wall street 
     if we decide  to
