'As the deadly snake of economic progress crawls its way through the hills, valleys, and peaks of rural Appalachia ... poor rural communities watch as their future flows away ... as their land is taken away ... as the money and the profit and their clean water, and their wealth ... drives in, drops off & picks up and then drives back out in mud stained trucks ... and shiny clean bank-style armored cars. Leaving them all worse off than before the corporate city-serpent came ... and took their land, their lives, and their future.
Meanwhile ...
the drinking water turns brown, the rivers run aground, and the road to the forest is washed out or under more construction or de-construction and repair ... otherwise raping the land and blocking the forest access again. Reminding ... that they will never let Appalachia remain alive ... and native & local Appalachians to live or leave alive.'
