Oklahoma Chemical Drilling Hydrofracking Polluted Farmland Poem by Terence George Craddock

Oklahoma Chemical Drilling Hydrofracking Polluted Farmland

water pollution induced seismicity
by 2012 in the midst of happy happy
domestic energy boom livestock on

farms located near oil-gas-drilling operations
nationwide livestock were sick limping falling dying
paid scientists could isolate cause and effect

suspected chemicals used in drilling hydrofracking
was fracking poisoning animals through air water or soil?
something is happening but we don't know what it is?

big oil paid scientists geologists
to state cause was not chemicals
used in drilling hydrofracking

oil companies knows well there is no profit
in oil trapped untapped deep beneath dust
drilling hydrofracking option profit cheapest
