Big gaseous capitalists are “Ejaculating Satin's sperm into
Stolen Native American land, Mother Earth, Pachymama….”
KNOW FRACKIN' WAY...
by Raymond Nat Turner
INDEPENDENCE: sticks, pedals,
Cymbals and heads connecting,
Sticks, pedals, cymbals and
Heads connecting...
ENERGY: left hand, right foot,
Right hand, left foot; left foot,
Right hand, right foot, left hand
Dumping endorphin in our blood-
Streams, washing away workaday
Dust... Jazz drummers are real
INDEPENDENT ENERGY... sending
Us to SWING STATES that count...
On the other hand, with a
Trillion threads connecting
Us across continents, area codes,
Zip codes and GPS commands,
How can they crow on and on
About ENERGY INDEPENDENCE,
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, ENERGY
INDEPENDENCE?
Like Connecticut and Delaware
Rivers we are bound, but unbound,
Trammeled yet untrammeled by
Thin, imaginary lines on paper
With the trillion threads connecting
Us and upping the ante, we will pay
In currencies of stunted seasons, droughts,
Food riots and climate exiles, sooner or later...
Even simple-minded men with miniature hearts
Hidden in gated communities realize this;
Even selfish settlers with SoHa and MiMa,
Million dollar condos know that they are
Worthless, without potable water:
Fracking,
Attacking,
Ejaculating Satin's sperm into
Stolen Native American land--
Mother Earth, Pachymama--
Seeding her soil, surface waters,
Aquifers with baby Bophals and
Fukishimas and toasting our blood-
Streams and livers with cancer cocktails
Fracking,
Attacking,
Strafing solar panels, bombing wind mills,
Taking out geothermal threats with flaming
Faucets, exploding wells and earthquakes,
Where there were none, before...
Fracking,
Attacking,
Hijacking science, spinning truth with
FOX-box foot soldiers, inbedded
Politicians and regulators with alligator
Arms, regulating returns on frackers
Investments like they regulate tobacco
Thugs, deep-water drillers, clean coal con-
Men and Franken food experimenters...
Fracking,
Attacking,
Tracking and testing before teaching the lesson:
We are our own conservators,regulators,law makers--
Charging each frack as assault with a deadly weapon,
Declaring each well a crime scene and wrapping it
Along with the perps offices, cars and homes in
Yellow tape; declaring their meetings terrorist con-
Spiracies, their emails evidence and arresting them
After serving cease and desist orders, reading in part:
"Keep your mutha-frackin' fluids out of our aquifers!"
