Degradation and mindlessness

This fracking lark is gaining some momentum
Obama and his people seem to feel
If energy is actually on their doorstep
Then there’s qudos and home producing is for real
Hydraulic fracturing is apparently
An earner it’s suggested by a few
But reality sees investors losing out a lot
For diminishing returns actually screw
It’s dirty, it’s a really filthy business
Environmental degradation looms
Paying homage to an evil deep inside the earth
Through a multitude of strata’s and vile plumes

Deep into the palezoic era 2000-3000 feet below
Through the Marcellus shale
That gets ruptured when a hail
Of chemicals and water move it so
And the gas is then on tap
The fracking over
Except this sick concoction some at least
Comes back up that old drill
Tragically to spill
Stored in open ponds
TankedZAQ off in trucks
16 wheelers in the operation
And all of this is costing us big bucks
Toulene,Xylene,Arsenic,Barium, Chromium
Cadmium,Mercury,Lead and Formaldehyde
The fracking water is such an awesome cocktail
And so much of it wasted to confide

With you about the waste
Of the earths pure water
From 1 and 1/2 to 9 million gallons
That’s per drill
Which is going to make the water table diminish
And the pollution and the corruptions out there still
Take Texas for example with so little rain
The people will be needing bottle water soon
Which to my mind makes the whole thing just insane
In Ohio there’s a 1000 wells now working
I’m glad I don’t live there , I have to say
Pollution and corruption is completely mindless
But politicians still make people pay

And now le Roy school
Upstate New York, yes it’s there
Fracking wells below the school
Hang fire
Trees around the site are bloody dying
15 children suffering the world
Around is crying
Tics and sick aggression and the doctors
Have their own ideas
It’s nothing to do with fracking
They fail to fear the power of tears
They fail to see the wanton thrust
The money grabbing powerful lust
The families there now being told
It’s a mystery to behold
Fracking is the reality
Obama and the people see
The obvious, the emperor was naked all the while
It’s sinful now what we are doing
For deep within the earth it’s brewing
A disaster we may never ever truly reconcile.
