No DAPL

No dapple Standing Rock Sioux tribal members chant

water is life and should not be marked with spots

or rounded patches of the oil crude

Mother Earth is sacred

Bakken formation holds riches

(ETP) wishes to take them

1,134-mile pipeline to carry one half million barrels

four states to the Gulf of Mexico

No dapple, they chant

A leak near the river pause for the cause

Presidential push, the pump of the crude

Still they stand, chanting No DAPL
