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!
