heaven when there is no homeland
heaven when orange groves are bull-dozed
heaven when the well is poisoned
heaven when terrorists
heaven when soldiers
heaven when mercenary
heaven when pipelines proliferate
heaven when market panic
heaven when a child is born and lifted to the sky
heaven when angels turn their backs
heaven when defense contractors
heaven when traffic stalls
heaven when oil rights
heaven when off-shored
