Fracked

Cracking the earth down to the depths below

Burrowing deeper to where vapors flow

We descend into the unknown

Laying waste to the forests and plains

Now a wasteland is all that remains

Raping mother earth for a profitable gain

Unearthing the crypts, a foul stench spews forth from the deep

The plates start to shift, as open sores from the earth start to weep

Carcinogenic chemicals injected

While metal monoliths are quickly erected

A growing populace becoming more and more dejected

Flowing rivers of life now bring only death

Mephitic pools seep and infect

We continue to destroy at nature’s behest

Smashing through the hardest of stones, thousands of feet below

Dire consequences soon to be shown, unearthing effluvium from long ago

Water so contaminated that it can burst into flames

Poisoning the populace with vaporized remains
