To those in the metal scene

who help artists

and practice fraudulently

and irresponsibly

shame on you

Communication is essential

when coordinating

sales and permissions

You must have skills

and keep records

Next time you are stolen from

acknowledge that this

is how an artist would feel

with bootlegging

or pirating

I pray to you

Holy Creator of all

that producers in all of metal

will be moral, just, and accountable

Please give us all

the gift of empathy

that we may feel

with our hearts

as we do to others
