if 33 Chilean buried miners can watch movies

let them not watch AVATAR
about the greed of mining corporations
destroying the environment for resources
that are antediluvian/polluting
Let them not know their company is bankrupt
and cannot afford to rescue them
private profits preclude human factors
publicity comes from media,and
cannot be controlled like the food they eat
which must be thin food(so they can fit
through a 36 inch rescue tunnel cut
through the very earth they were plundering to eat
turning coal into food for their table
Parameters of rescue are simple-
have all of Chile aware of the fate of their miners
unlike in Russia or China
where media is muzzled and miners die often
Activate the energies of awareness
so these living examples of dogged resistance
might be rescued by State resources
even when their own Corporation could not save them
from bad food,censored movies and the prospect
of death by landslide due to unsafe working conditions
Keep the rescue narrative positive
we do not need to know these conditions are horrendous
If we know,we might be forced to act
Act concerned,if you really cared
No human being would be mining coal anywhere
