Digging for truth

I’ve peeled back the crust of Earth

Peeked behind the mask She wears

Found a treasure trove of jewels

Found a river fed by tears

Lifted back the granite curtain

Digging down ten thousand years

Found an energy for certain

Dirty money way down here

Send some birds to check the air

A canary comes back coughing

Out of breath in need of water

But instead is force fed coffee

Get back down there little birdie

Check the cave for toxic air

Little bird, she flew right off

Without a second thought or care

For the little bird she knows

The air has gotten worse up here
