Oklahoma has experienced a lot of seismic activity
which seems to have increased quite a lot
since fracking came along we see
wells set up all over
and micro seismic events
happening under the ground
and the people are more tense
its altering the pressure
underground rocks may slip
and this can cause the earthquakes
its a sort of drip drip drip
what science is concerned about
is the huge disposal wells
where all that fracking water
is pumped for great long spells
and this is linked to big earthquakes
and pollution too alas
creating in this vicinity
a radio active mass
energy is wanting
but fracking not at all
the locality is put at risk
sink holes they can fall
its really rather awful
and is another threat
to our water and our precious air
which s something which must be met
head on for it is serious
its costing people lots
some have lost their homes and land
and they didn’t have pots
of money lying around the place
so in point of fact for those
people they lost everything
and that is how it goes
