Blessed virgin of the Arctic;
rarest, most flawless, most precious
diamond of this world;
my eyes melt and my heart cracks with aching;
I weep and I wail as I watch
those jet black ravens circling a helpless dove;
as I see your sainted innocence stained
by brutal men with hearts colder than your ice;
hollow men who would drill you with holes;
blind, dark men who would smear you with oily hands.
Let them be drilled; let them burn their own blood instead;
these money fuelled machines;
go and drill in the dark pole of death;
end their own snowflake lives
and let your
superlative
radiance
continue
to shine.
