It’s so water intensive
\nPerilously so
\nA perfect natural resource
\nTo just be in the flow
\nIts healthy and life giving
\nFor almost every soul
\nEvery living creature
\nAppreciates it’s role<\/p>\n
The frackers. they appreciate
\nHow their need is that they
\nUse vast amounts which they inject
\nDown wells
\nAnd of course we pay<\/p>\n
For within that soup are chemicals
\nTo break open the shale
\nAlong with aggregates to seal
\nFissures if they fail
\nMillions of gallons of water
\nWasted in a frack
\nAnd it cannot be used again
\nThere just is no way back<\/p>\n
In California right now
\nThe people they are harmed
\nBecause the drought is biting
\nImagine how
\nAlarmed
\nthey are
\nBy no fresh water coming out of taps<\/p>\n
A child sits on her doorstep <\/p>\n
In all sorts of flaps<\/p>\n
She says she’s parched and thirsty
\nBest tell those fracking men
\nWho have poisoned the aquifers
\nSo the little girl ask when<\/p>\n
Can I have some water dad
\nNot now for a bit
\nThere’s thallium and arsenic
\nAnd other chemical shit
\nIt was all to do with energy
\nAnd improving local jobs
\nReducing shale gas at a stroke
\nWith profit for the knobs<\/p>\n
And we shall all pay for it
\nThey overworked their gobs
\nThey used the words like science
\nAnd now we know it robs
\nUs all of precious water
\nThe life giving source we had
\nBut we believed the frackers
\nWhich turned out to be bad<\/p>\n
Cameron and his buddy’s have
\nchanged the sodding law
\nThey will frack under your house
\nAnd Your objections will ignore <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
