Thanks to the hydraulic frack
Drinking water now burns at the tap
In the quest for burnable fuels
Enormous volumes of Fracking fluid are forced
Into the ground under a high pressure blast
To capture for the market natural gas
But Fracking fluid is a witch’s brew
Of organic compounds including a few
That are known carcinogens –
Including the leukemogenic solvent benzene
And this friend is clearly obscene
(Just Google “fracking” and you’ll see what I mean)
And now thousands of wells now offer
Contamination of the priceless aquifer

Note: Josh Fox (Gasland) was arrested for trying to video a house committee hearing on fracking despite his right to do this. The media is crucial in the fight to shine light on congressional abuse.
