When your truck ran over my school-going daughter I was affected. When my mother died of lung disease I was affected. When you destroyed my father's fields And paid him a pittance I was affected. When you tore out mountains Leaving red-earth scars And homeless birds and animals I was affected. When you bought more trucks And more trucks And built your mansions And fattened your bank accounts While covering my village With fine dust that slowly killed and corrupted everything I was affected. And now after making enough money for many generations Because you cannot make even more money Suddenly you become the victim? Suddenly you are mining affected?! =============== NOTICE: Confidential message which may be privileged. Unauthorized use/disclosure prohibited.
