This is fracking well out of hand

There’s a madness, and  an insanity

but very little humility

for people and their rights to be

resigned to humbling travesty

self effacing crushed and dashed

chastened till with spirits crashed

they just fall forward and exclaim

mortified and drawing blame

for not allowing fracking to

pull them down infact to do

whatever Government feels is right

as innocence is at the height

as ignorance and wanting to

expect a quiet life

good and true

without the subrogation angle

all this dark and desiring tangle

this march away from sanity

from peace and quiet and whats to be

at peace with oneself upon one’s own

on one’s land the land we’ve sown

we’ve hewn out of the stone and sand

to hold our sanity in our hand

for we are told what we must do

is allow the frackers to come to

our very door

under our place

and 2 miles down in the great race

to procure the gas

to procure the oil

to debase ourselves

how the blood does boil

for many know its implications

we feel the need and  the reservations

we have to let these people in

to destroy our world and bring on the sin

of so called science of conflagration

of chemicalisation across our nation

gates being opened for the drill

and the fracking liquids that will spill

the wasted water from dry young throats

the fracking game will sink some boats

sink them yes it well might, they

will bob about out in the bay

we will pay the piper with our blood and sweat

caught up in their fracking net

their great desire to pull up gold

on the violence some are sold

some will sacrifice what we

have or have built for eternity

incautiousness we see and hear

all over the world it now is clear

the rush for gas

the shale

the pain

the local objections are all in vain

government edicts fly this way and we

must accept their findings and well just be

fearful of holding onto  our ground

defeatist as the drills soon pound

disconsolate and comfortless

for the good of all we enjoy the stress

a massive scale of fracking will

rapidly soon, well instil

into our psyche how much we need

to destroy to earn and if some bleed

then bleed they must the earth will be

torn apart irreverently

injected with the devils brew

and some may spill out onto YOU

but who are YOU in times like these

when ever souls must face the squeeze

for the tory toffs want nothing more

than drilling deep into our core
