The Oil Debate

Some say love makes the world go round
I say it is oil that makes the world go round

The thing that is in everything
from plastics to fuel is how it does rule

so given this thought here is your opportunity
to have your say in a different way

Where’s your stand on the Keystone pipeline
moving dirty Alberta oil from Canada to Texas

Or fracking that shakes the earth
and plays with the water table

how about drilling in national parks
and protected wetlands or in oceans and seas

the carbon footprint that fossil fuels leave
and our slavery to BIG oil and high gas prices

but what of the flip side
the oil cartels called OPEC alongside Mr. Putin

does the blackmailing by the few
through oil dependency offset the risks

that is the question to be answered
