from “Instructions Within”
Oil is harmless, except for the trace of poverty it leaves behind
the day, when the faces of those who discover another oil well go dark, and your heart—will be filled with new life so that your soul is resurrected as oil for public consumption. This is the promise of oil—a promise that will come to pass—
The end
