Sunday Psalm for #Fracking fighters

Sing me a song,
Of a Pipeline gone wrong,
and I'll tell you it's 
all about Gaz.

Pipefitters on Meth,
Drawing their last breath,
Welding their pipes,
A faint smell of Death.


Journalists Swoon,
Singing the Gaz Tune,
Keeping their Advertising,
Their Position Uncomprimising.

Politicians are told,
PSB knows the score,
3 feet underground?
Yes, said the....PSB.
no, this doesn't rhyme at all w/ me either...

Fracking voted down,
In each Hamlet & Town,
Gaz, he don't care,
He wants to be Everywhere.
(or is gaz a she, or an it...)

A 16 year old could see,
The Folly, 
like you & Me,
of a pipeline of Hell,
Destruction,
Rome Fell,
He saw the Future like We,
#fracking fighters
We Be.


notes meg:
We love the Earth,
Our back yard,
our water,
our soil.
We love the Lake,
it gives us
Beauty, environment, fish, recreation.
We watch as the dinosaur bone wars continue.
Battles over fossil fuels-limited, finite, toxic.
Fuel prices going up again. Wars...
Is this to prop up the (un) natural gaz market?
Cram all these pipelines....through our rural neighborhood.
Not through the beautiful peoples' backyards,
they already winked and nodded and signed off in invisible ink. Oh yes, and New York State successfully averted a pipeline from Canada to International paper which sits on Lake Champlain across from Shoreham, Vermont. So why is NY silent about their "half" of the Lake Champlain which is earmarked for a high pressure gaz pipeline originating in Alberta, Canada? Maybe because their half of that part of the lake is a toxic sludge pile from vintage paper making. If I crossed all this out, it is because no one dares predict the combination of fermented chemicals and a burst pipeline...come on...it will happen. Freeze,-thaw,-pipefitters on meth, in a hurry, defective products, wear and tear. The fricking lake freezes over with Feet of ice. God help us all.meg

Poet

Poet

Poet, Poet,

Why don't you Rhyme?

You wanted to be

Different

That's OK, Poet.

You wanted to be

Recognized

Oh, Poet,

You wanted so much.

Poet, Poet,

You wanted to make a statement,

be bold,

make a difference in the minds of mortals

Is that so Bad, after all?

Poet, Poet,

What makes you so sad?

What makes your heart ache?

Why do you, who do you, when do you love?

Poet, oh Poet,

They don't care, 

and don't you know it,

You tried there in your words

in a poem, to show it,

They said, you cannot be,

A Poet, don't you see?

And 

Poet, Oh Poet,

You said, No.

And the Poetry police said,

It doesn't Rhyme,

Make sense,

No Rhythm,

No theme,

Structure is nonexistent.

Poet, Oh Poet, walk away.

You are a poet.

In your own way.

Beth Hart Forever Young

I know, I know,
I said Moonalice all week.
Then I saw this video of Beth Hart...
Happy Friday the 13th!

#fracking Videos for the Curious

Something in Moonalice's music was pulling out other posts...

videos I could never embed before,

an urgency felt as the ground was already shivering,

the day of the pipeline, was it coming?

Could you light a candle that the Corps of Engineers recognize the stupidity in running high pressure transmission gaz lines from Alberta, CA to Ticonderoga, NY via my neighbors' garden...

it just doesn't make sense...

In case You wonder who lives behind the sign...

Moonalice "Mr Spaceman" 2013-09-28 Woodstock, NY

Having to continue to push on, into the music....
Love, Love, Moonalice and this tune, at Levon's barn,
just another beautiful night.

Thinking of all the poor people stuck in NYC traffic.
Condolences.



Hey, Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along, for the ride?

Keeping up with misinformation...#MultipleSclerosis and Nutrition

Struggling to keep up with misinformation,
realizing that is part of the communications problems in the world.
Been hyper focusing on fracking,
I see the doublespeak, lawyer shenaniganzas, public officials opening some doors, closing others,
biased editors accepting ad money, shills for Canadian land robbers, the Lake-6th Great lake gets no voice. A sick movie, futility of the Good Fight.
A lot like MS, Multiple Sclerosis.
And no matter the outcome,
Fight we Must!

So I listen to the radio, and over and over the nutritional supplements are pushed.
Forget the pipeline a minute.
Back to the home battle front.
I couldn't stand the ads....over and over...I got furious but I am supposed to keep calm and not get stressed out.
I wrote the Loser nutrition supplement company balance of nature
No response
 (suspiciously similar to the un-natural gaz)

*****my notes in italics...
They aired claims by Lauren...who sounds a little demented
she said she took nutritional supplements for ms and became
"stable'
meg: I have never been called stable or unstable...I have RRMS and take immunomodulation drugs-shots, not vitamins. This is according to present standards of neurological clinical practice.

She mentions
growing spots or did she say
glowing
active?

meg: Spots do not necessarily correlate to clinical presentation or disease progression. Glowing spots with Gad dye show a breach in the blood-brain barrier. Current treatment would suggest pulse high dose steroids, for an exacerbation not vitamin pills. Exacerbations are assessed using comprehensive neuro exam, testing, evaluation of medications. Never been asked if I am taking my vitamins. 

meeting the doctor a year later, Lauren read the mri
meg: Reading the Mri is something I leave for my neurologist
I have so many spots and have to ignore them. Your brain has at least 90% more capacity than you use. Lauren is not helping anyone with her 10%.

mri nothing growing dark spots shrinking healing in remission my reality

meg: Lauren, I feel sorry for you. If you see this, ditch the vegetable pills, the snake oil, the crystals.
Go to a board certified MS specialist.

My Article about treatments for MS....Wheelchair Repellant. I don't take vitamins

When I did a search for Clinical trials for "balance of nature" claims that dietary supplements help ms....I found this article...meg

ALL ABOUT FRACKING

Helen Slottje of the Community Environmental Defense Council in Ithaca, NY discovered a way for local municipalities to prohibit fracking through zoning. She and her husband David have worked pro bono with more than 200 towns and villages across New York to protect themselves from industrial invasion.
Helen was awarded the Goldman Prize which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize for environmental work.

Joanne and Deborah Cipolla-Dennis are founding members of the Dryden Resource Awareness Coalition:

a grassroots group focused on protecting the rural community character of the Town of Dryden.

They are also working on a variety of local and national issues including climate justice and human rights.
