In the rush for fossil oil and gas
people have been a bit of an ass
the drillers don’t mind what mess they make
or even the tremors the movements or quakes
they’re throwing their cash – to drill down the ground
in hope that a prize of riches can be found
whilst the chemicals get into the waterways
and gas jumps around into the pipes – and plays.
It gets into the water supply….
and you look at the drillers and wonder why?

Water moves, winding on
through the open mouth
of a mountain cave
Each drop makes its way
carving grooves in the roof
dropping gently on the floor
Lucky drops cascade down
transported to colourful rocks
at the waterfalls end
Those drops left behind
Cling to the rock
making dragons teeth shine
As moonlight falls on
these pearly whites – minerals
hold on for dear life
Caught in a moment
by time in a rock
To this creature of the deep
it must be a shock
The old sea snail rests
by the sands of the bay
stoic and silent
with nothing to say
It’s given up swimming
in the waters of blue
nested in th’ rock face
with others there too
In its time our dear seasnail
had plenty to say
but its not with its cousins
in the water of the bay
Its encased in the stone
on the shore (known as lime)
that built up in th’past
(or prehistoric time)
But the children on the shore
to the sand dunes they flock
to see sea-snail resting
in its home in the rock
