Oh you mockers, wagging your finger,
shaking your heads, with eyes that linger,
on heads bowed down in abject sorrow
come the day, come tomorrow,
Seems that nothings come to pass
dreams have broken, shattered glass,
nothing is as it seems at all
you climbed so high, but now you fall
down, far down, to the darkness waiting
you tried and failed and now they’re baiting
calling for blood as you once did,
so, finish it now, close the damned lid,
on all that future, promised bright
now what’s left?…’tis black as night…

Yes it was most certainly a disaster that happen in the gulf of Mexico, could happen again. So many lives ruined because of this oil leak and the poor birds and sea life.

You told it just like it is Lady P, The disaster has changed so many things that will never be right again, at least not in my lifetime.

This nightmare will continue to unfold for decades, if not for all time. I read about all the "finger pointing", too, and wonder why point? Just "git 'er done" and close the damn lid and never, ever do this drilling of our oceans again. Humans can't seem to ever get enough of anything. More, more is the cry. I say, "Enough already. Stop the madness. We are killing everything including ourselves". Sorry, Pen, I really got on a rant there. It's just SO upsetting and you wrote of it perfectly.

they plunder earth
ReplyDeletewithout a care
risks are taken
"accidents the're very rare"
but oil flows over sea and land
feather or fur.. it's all the same
it sticks to ev'ry thing it meets
and all because they have on shame
oh for want of a match or plug
ReplyDeleteThis is a BIG an accidents after that affected on the human and wild life birds & fish.

Have a great day,
