in the embers of a bygone age<\/p>\n
one remembers the ash<\/p>\n
that was once as tall as the house I lived in<\/p>\n
but was torn down in a flash<\/p>\n
the frackers took their energy<\/p>\n
and forced our town to be<\/p>\n
broken as the earthquakes came<\/p>\n
to ravage us constantly<\/p>\n
our water it was spoiled alas<\/p>\n
nothing to drink no more<\/p>\n
the aquifers were polluted<\/p>\n
with their chemical wrath and gore<\/p>\n
the air was thick with methane<\/p>\n
even the healthy felt<\/p>\n
the asthmatic’s they were lost for sure<\/p>\n
when all the cards were dealt<\/p>\n
the corporates all powerful<\/p>\n
they lived on their islands far<\/p>\n
away from the contamination<\/p>\n
they were the blooming tzar<\/p>\n
they were rulers of their world<\/p>\n
we were the slaves and we<\/p>\n
choked on the methane<\/p>\n
drank the shit water<\/p>\n
and were raped by their constancy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the tories took the rap for it<\/p>\n
in our hearts and minds<\/p>\n
death and destruction was all around<\/p>\n
everywhere the signs<\/p>\n
the sickly were dying<\/p>\n
the babies crying<\/p>\n
the old had passed away<\/p>\n
the sick were sicker<\/p>\n
the thick were thicker<\/p>\n
and all of us did pay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
