“If extracted safely”
Her words
And despite
The risks
My words
The giant footprint
Around the world that we
Have seen and know
The pollution that has happened
Frequently
A Commissioner a person
Endowed with certain powers
To work closely with communities
And with industry
Her hours
Will be around the exploration
Of shale gas and the way
It is to be extracted
No matter what we say
A single point of contact
A listener to soak
Up the views of everyone
For me its just a joke
And a pretty bad one
One the grey suits know
The score but will not face the music
A factor to deplore
