since
when did
rolling
green summer
&
golden autumn hills
become
a photo backdrop
for
political hypocrisy
you
could have been honest
put
the fracking rigs in the picture
towering
above all
methane
flaring valves
poisoned
water wells
deep
rutting off-road vehicles
go
ahead
throw
in drake's well
for
your propaganda frame
tv
harangue
i
know you've said it a thousand times already
but
these are your compromises
stand
& deliver
your
donors
who
have paid in full
who
know you can't wipe the grease
off
an oak leaf cluster
or
hide behind a plastic white hardhat
for
posterity
or
prosperity
an
illusion
just
over the hill
