West Texas quakes are up to mag. 5.0
How much higher will they go?
When you inject salt water down deep
Old fault zones will begin to creep
When you blow up shale formations
You get some weird combinations
You get a little oil & a little gas
But, much more salt water: trash!
Can't use salt water for irrigation
So, you're left in a tough situation
What to do with the fracking waste?
Usual extraction result, done in haste
Pump it down where no one will see
Deny any problem there happens to be!
Were just quakes in Oklahoma
Now they are moving over
To Tex/NewMex border
Few residents, so no disorder
Local ground water,
Already pumped dry
So, keeping out pollution,
Don't even have to try!
So, gas prices stay low
And, now little driving, whoa!
Lying prez, "by Easter, virus done
All great, I did it, we won"
Sadly, corona just hitting US fan
Worse, still no national plan
Tough to trust a "leader"
That's just a lying tweeter
Run up debt few trillion more
While reality continue to ignore
Causes: Chinese overpopulation
Cruise, airline rapid relocation
When economy is based on shopping
Any crisis, result: commerce stopping
Yet, on the virus continues to swarm
As our lovely planet continues to warm
But, here's the thing
Greed & war will not bring
Anyone good food or health
Only for a few, more wealth
Too bad, think we all know
Corona got a long way to go
Today On Earth
Here in VA, cold front nearby
Above: cool, below: temps high
Already hit 71 here
Tomorrow chill will steer
Back down our way
Sunday, another warm day
Or, so they say
Spring roller coaster underway!
Got a look at Jupiter early today
Mars & Saturn, trees in the way!
Clouds blocked a comet check
No way to spot a hazy speck
Haven't seen Venus in ages
As it drifts thru crescent stages
Should be near waxing moon
Constant clouds, unlikely to see soon
Day started sunny, but, not anymore
Still, about time to get out the door
Big ole dog just came home
After morning neighborhood roam
Actually, doesn't much wander
With a girlfriend over yonder
Plays til she goes in
Then heads home again
Quick wrap up, daily quakes
Iran, Indonesia got the shakes
And, down along Scotia plate
Pressures build, but can't wait
Please, release me, let me go
Then we get an earthquake show!
Today
And everyday
On Earth!
