A little activism
There’s diesel in the drinking water.
let me tell you something:
we are not the gulf; oil sludge on water,
petroleum on pelicans.
let me tell you something else:
we could be.
Hydraulic Fracturing is Coming Here. We need to stop it,
you and I,
in New York State.
Until the Corporates
can prove
its safe.
They’re going to drill your ground you know,
they’re going to drill,deep, deep down
and they’re going to blast
bruised water
mixed with sand
and toxic chemicals
To break up the stones
where our drinking water
and natural gas deposits
sleep.
they’re going to catch that clear gold
gas
on its way back up
and sell it back
to us.
New York,
poetry
lovers,
when the rain falls
what power
keeps the water
out of subway tunnels?
Oil.
I’m asking you
to live local
and find new ways
if you must
buy, or drive,
and call your state senator
to keep our water
alive.
Because they’ll fuck up Eden
to give you Eden
so don’t believe
their edonomics.
Make the corporate man
prove to us
it’s safe.
It shouldn’t be our job
to clean
or drink
their mess.
Come rally, tomorrow, in Long Island City,
At noon.
Call your New York State assemblywoman,
or go to Frackaction.com.
And when we get it banned here
call you U.S. senator
swear off oil, and get hydro-fracking kicked out
of the U.N.
because we’re where it began
and we’re gonna be
where it ends.
