Water

the arrogance of man
Is clearly drenched in corporate woe
Water is a issue
Around which now does flow
Fracking wastes a great deal. And several billion souls
Live in or near the water
Water thus controls

Their lives and all their deities are so
Revered for we
Have to realise the wealth
Of water that we see
Only about 1per cent is renewed by rain
The rest do not get refreshed it seems
And truthfully that’s a pain

There are many flash points
The Amazon for one,Africa is another
And South East Asia run
Huge potential risks
And weather modification could
Wipe rice and fish production
And that would not be good

Israel Syria Jordan another flashpoint
Here
They all share three rivers
And of course a lot of fear
China is having problems
Its really everywhere
And fracking coming on its heels
Is creating more despair

It’s as if it’s done and dusted
The politicians seem
To be under, the fracker’s spell
Madly in some dream
Of riches coming their way
But this is just not true
Shale gas isn’t gods gift
It’s a trick to fuck with you

And without air and water
Life on earth is gone
So risking both is madness
It’s just a violent con
Degrading air and water
Blatantly to me
Is madness complete arses
Complete stupidity

About 1.2 billion
Have no fresh water they
Have to walk for miles and miles
Many die along the way
Waterborne diseases are rife
For those who live
And play along the water
With little chance to give

Themselves any immunity
The wooden structures too
Are very susceptible to fire
And very few
people can escape
For fire fighters are nil
Fire takes hold so rapidly
And fire of course does kill

Cholera and diphtheria and Typhus
They are rife
Human waste it must be faced
Cause unbelievable strife
They are drinking where they are shitting
Their food source fish is there
Typhoid becomes rampant
More terror and despair

Onto the Mekong delta
A vast array of souls
Survival is on water
Water you see controls
Everything the roads are poor
So the water is the way
Food is grown and markets reached
Every single day

Deforestation is critical
Mud slides are a thing
The oxygenation of the earth
Without trees we can’t bring
Enough air to be breathed by human
Beings and that means
With contamination everywhere
And the big machines

The loggers and the energy pipes
The fracking energy
It’s all now up and running
Where it shouldn’t be
The food bowl of the planet
Global warming and
The ozone layers holed now
Right across the land

Forests regulate the flow of water
In the earth
Nature has the answers
Man he has no worth
He is arrogant and greedy
And selfish to a tee
Destruction of the planet
But just too blind to see

The indigenous communities
Are now under strain
Excavation machinery
Is causing them some pain
Mercury and contaminants
From gold mining are there
Genocide is happening
But so many are unaware

Varieties of fish are being wasted
Every day
Varieties of mammals too
Are being shot away
Wars are on the cards
Some blistering attacks
Take Egypt and Ethiopia
I mean these are the facts

The planet is becoming
A place where humans seem
To wander here and there and do
And live In their own dream
Numbed down by the contaminants
Added to their food
Their water and their air
The attacks on them are crude

But it’s happening around us
We are aware but most
Carry on regardless
One day we shall be toast
But till that time we buy our bottled water
Whilst away
across the bloody deserts
Other people pay

The corporates are winning
Their growing and they are
Tying us in bloody knots
Many from afar
The bankers yes they throttle us
And steal their bonus too
And big oil big energy big brother
They know what to do

Kettle us we are suffering
Everywhere is grim
The weather is being managed
It’s nothing to do with him
Or her it’s now all corporate
They infiltrate us all
Robotic psychopathic zombies
Basically now rule
