Fracking

And when the earth Is ill with shale Each day will blister From a pitch-dark shadow All the drops that save us Will be abused So we the dogs Can eviscerate all that is holy We have stolen the Voices from gravel And grass and sand As if they cannot suffer Because we have Not earned this place We have not earned this place
