Best Oil Rig Poems

A WISH FOR ALL FISH

Washed up on shores around the world
Already dead, a whale, a dolphin a shark, 
All marine life is suffering, the situation
Has become absurd, 
The facts real and stark!
My Fairy God mother in my poem
Yes about a dress, said I could contact
Her...

His name is Roy and he is my best friend. We spend hours each day pretending to swim. If only he could catch a single fish like the rest of his clan. We swim circles upon circles trying to catch just one. Oh he gets...

Once I wore cowboy boots on an oil rig
And before that I was a Deputy, also known as a ‘Pig’
Prior to that time I was a normal guy, living life on the wild side
But before I did that, I signed a line; a line to...

1. To save the environment, lets blow up an oil rig and dump 200,000 gallons of oil 
in the ocean and kill ocean life...sound like a plan my fellow environmentalist?

Yeah lets show them!!

2. Jump on somebody that I don't know just cause I won't have...

A prayer for those who are in dispair along the Gulf Coast due to the BP Deepwater Horizon 
oil rig explosion. A prayer for those who waited and their loved ones did not return, Amazing 
Grace Wash Over Thee.



Amazing grace wash over me.
My tears are...

Being techonally minded throughout  school
through the creativity running parallel, your proffession entails.
I find it genious- like,the thought prossess,towards your product.
Of which was  taken by the Arabs for coarse of test.

A remote control eye,able for deep waters
oil rig structure legs,searching corrosion.
Saving the perels,and less...

Deep in the Oklahoma woods
On an oil rig we couldn't foresee
Something not dropped in the snow
Could be disastrous to a degree

A guy I'll call "new guy", came in
He'd done a "Number two" outside
Thankful to get out of the cold but
With an odor not to be...

An oil rig is burning up
Mourning for eleven dead
Beaches blackened with tar
From drowning birds
To shattering lives
Oil volcano against a gulf

A pipe that still gushes
It is too late...

Hello my love, it's dawn's first light
Time to end this time called night
I wish I may, I wish I might,
I did...Hold my love asleep so tight
 
Caring about nothing, having no fear
Just being together with those I hold dear
Silent shadows disappear with the thought of...

I worked on an old oil rig
In red Oklahoma mud
Throwing chains and working hard
Sore muscles with sweat and blood

Forty eight inch pipe wrenches
Will sure tire your arms a bit
If you want to eat and live
You have to get used to it

When working 12 hours a...

Something New To Do

All the world 
was a stage while
black crude emptied 
into the ocean blue,
everyone tuned in and 
offered their two cents on
how to contain this 
oil spout that spewed.

What if no one pointed
 fingers at each other,
no blaming the 
oil conglomerate,
the President of...

Fish of the deep no longer swim free.
There's a stench and a fire at sea.
Indulgent recklessness came flailing.
Failed solutions left creatures wailing.
Nightmares are spewing from BP’s oil rig. 
America hosts their venturous gig.
The cooling breeze through the Gulf coast trees
Blows sooty smoke seething wildlife breathes....

The seed is sown
"I might never know"
I'm not sure what 
Getting on a motorbike with a stranger?
Wearing short shorts?
Swearing at people?
All three at once?

I could dedicate 2 minutes and maybe one afternoon to realise those dreams
(They aren't my dreams)
There's an injustice
That I don't get on...

On the balcony of a hilltop home near Santa Barbara California, late, on a warm, clear summer night, forty years ago, looking out over the ocean, with good friends, after hours of partying,  stars twinkled in the black sky, and lights twinkled on an...
