You don't need as much expertise
to mine out gold as you do oil.
Oil requires some middlemen
transform you to the middleman,
you whose God brought forth these wells,
such that the companies you court
will close their ears to when you make
like Falstaff, crying "Life! More Life!",
when they drive you to the creek,
talk you up to sit you down
on a rock, then leave your body
rotting in the water.
