Oil Disaster 2010

British dug dead holes never to atone. Tar ablaze the oil rigs drill and plunder As golden hands rely on this dead zone, Beneath white lilies and silver blue seas, We sanctify black vicious crude as tongues Digest the depth to clean up this collapse. Hydrocarbons widen, dark and lifeless Gallows clocked to drill oil even faster. The mobs of ice and stone blindly detach. Owner greed for plankton to deliver, Simple numb, is taking our future back. As toxic sludge thrives and all worlds quiver. We boast of freedom and human rights while Small life die and are fed to bigger fish... Who pull dark gold, while politicians thrive No stopping this micro bio-tic plight. The natural food chain feeds our own thirst.

A brilliant piece the deserves to be heard by the officers who run BP. Bravo, Julie! What was done to our Gulf Coast here in Florida will take decades to restore to normalcy. I have a marine biologist friend who was rescuing many species, including plankton, and putting them in large salt-water tanks so they could one day be returned to the Gulf. Last I heard, BP had denied his claim for losses in his marine laboratory on the Gulf Coast. A poem for my favorites! Merry Christmas, Carolyn
