Dallas thats where oil is
has more or less banned fracking
on so much of its city land
its kind of sent them packing
within 1500 feet of any home
church or school the drills the pads
nothing really
really that is all
Trinity East at Barnet Shale
a company has said
who can drill under
these conditions
fracking here is dead
on parks and flood plains also
the residents do say
the thought of having fracking pads
fills them with dismay
America has experienced
the good times and the bad
there has been some pollution
and really that is sad
for the people
for the children
for the environment alas
it has been rather costly
and extremely crass
the frackers
are insensitive
to local peoples need
they are there for the money
thats how they succeed
the town
the environment
the countryside
they don’t care two hoots
they ruin it and they go away
and the of course yes the grey suits
do not even bother
to come and see the place
all they care about
is money
but Dallas had to face
its residents, its voters
and clearly feels they should
be given more attention
which for them has to be good
the Uk sadly demonstrates
a government who feels
whatever frackers tell them
it sort of appeals
the people do not matter
thats what comes through here
Dallas home of JR Ewing
cares that much is clear
