Data center dreams, rural nightmare
Our society is a stew, so scum rises to the top
Lust for power and easy money will not stop
They tried to hide Mega-site, got caught
Huge protests, voted NO, lied, it got bought
Then, so greedy, cut trees for solar plantations
Shocked when rain lead to erosion frustrations
Still our board & Wade plotted, drooled: MORE!
To the DATA nightmare flung wide the door
Have your taxes or power bills gone down?
Is there more quiet or peace in your little town?
Mismanaged James water every step of the way
Surprise! home water restrictions now in play
Coming dilemma: water to homes? data or RVA?
Irony impaired Board, more money gonna sink
To ‘fight’ what they created, the Valley Link
A 40 square mile, cancer, tax free ‘power’ path
Within a mile, property values, take major bath
Won’t be safe to live, won’t be able to sell
Thanks Board, turned our rural world to Hell!
