the Corporate stance in this modern age
is one of massive power
its base is unbelievable
its arrogance is how
it manifests its intentions
it does what it wants to do
its all driven by profit
it extracts from souls like you
fracking deals with resources
air and water those
precious life giving energies
that truthfully now pose
serious implications
to all of us alive
for wasting them
on production
means some of us won’t survive
but we are not in important
the people matter less
its all about the energy
its the energy they stress
its investment and its profits
the local people are
just pawns upon a chess board
in the boardrooms of the tzar
air we need it desperately
without breath we are lost
and water fresh clean water
the need is there the cost
of wasting vast amounts of it
on fracking and the rest
of contaminating a lot of it
puts us all on test
millions of gallons of water
are needed to work the mines
in places where the drought has bitten
there are growing signs
that everything is suffering
as the barons do their thing
draw off precious water
and pollute it
which does bring
protest from the farmers
and from city dwellers who
cannot get their quota
and know not what to do
and all the while the corporations
steal this sweet resource
and waste it and pollute it
and ruin it at source
whoever really looked at this
took the road to hell
they knew somewhere along the line
oh yes they knew this well
the geologists would have told them
but the corporate view’s about
profit for their backers
and that’s without a doubt
they are powerful people
monsters in fact they
care nothing for nobody
and those around who say
fracking is a wasteful game
and shouldn’t be allowed
well they are seen as the enemy
of the state
and are over powered
the corporate world is ruling
governments as well
the people do not matter
the signs are that they spell
disaster for the common man
and women on the scene
our future it looks dismal
and very far from green
submissiveness is called for
obedience for they
the parasitic spongers
want to have their day
they want to see us grovel
they want to see us feel
that life is what they make of it
and we stay under their heel
we take what little is given
we remain servile
they decide the outcome
we are all on trial
its a kind of new nobility
the corporate bloodstock who
are the aristocracy
and there’s nothing we can do
we are the proletariat
the commoners the slaves
treated just like riff raff
uncultured almost knaves
and where it now is going
as the people wake and see
the fabric torn away from them
they realize and be
frightened by the vision
painted in the sky
they are worried for their future
and most now wonder why
they slept so long through all of this
they didn’t see the dawn
so taken for granted
all they did was yawn
their way through all the crisis
imagining that they
could blame this that or other
and just go on their way
the corporation structure
has sent its fingers through
every branch of life we know
they know what they do
they provide a web of services
a sort of matrix where
the agents are the trusted ones
and the rest of us arn’t there
we are sort of programmes
slaves in many ways
we all do, what we are told
that’s the common phase
our food our air our water
is rationed actually
doctored with the chemicals
that rain down now daily
we are being manipulated
by the corporate state
robotic digital pathways
the corporates create
and we are left to suffer
the vagaries of now
and many of us waking up
realize now how
everywhere is militarized
wars blaze on and on
all we thought we worked for
all our lives
may be gone
the stuff of life
is being usurped
before our eyes
and for many on this planet
its a hell of a surprise
