To frack, or not to frack, that is the question: Whether ‘tis nobler in the eyes of the world to suffer The stings and barbs of outrageous corporations Or to take up pen against a flood of money And by opposing silence them. To speak, to write Not heeded; and by a word we say stop The drilling and the thousand unnatural shocks That earth is heir to: ‘tis a consummation Decidedly to be needed. To speak, to write; To march, perhaps be silent—yes, there’s the challenge For in that sleep of conscience, what death may come?

A Fracking Shame
To frack, or not to frack, that is the question: Whether ‘tis nobler in the eyes of the world to suffer The stings and barbs of outrageous corporations Or to take up pen against a flood of money And by opposing silence them. To speak, to write Not heeded; and by a word we say stop The drilling and the thousand unnatural shocks That earth is heir to: ‘tis a consummation Decidedly to be needed. To speak, to write; To march, perhaps be silent—yes, there’s the challenge For in that sleep of conscience, what death may come?
