[quote:Anonymous Coward 1017858:MV8xMTE0OTMyXzE3ODMwMzc0XzE4NTc1Qjgy]
They kill our oceans
they poison our seas,
stinking sludge, covert disease,
The fish and birds smother in oil
the beautiful beaches begin to spoil,
The stench of death not far away
for after death, then comes decay,
As the children still attempt to play.

[color=darkred]The toxic blood from deep within,
like puss oozing from an open, gangrenous sore,
spreads its deadly web of sheen across the wide blue.
Oh I weep for the majestic birds,
Oh I weep for the playful dolphins,
Oh I weep for the people Of the Gulf. [/color]

So like moths to a flame glpers login,
reading the woes of those who wait to die.
Those who complain and those who just *sigh*.
Doom for the gulf and doom for the planet,
doom for our world and everything in it.

the end is nigh
they tell us to buy
while the dolphins cry
and all the birds and fish die.
i need more rye 
goodbye

And the widow mourns her heart to shred
when imagining the anguish in her husbands head,
Under the pressure of all that would,
and he had done all that he could,
the relief he sought, not within his reach
He took his own life, in search of peace.

Original Message I was trying to reply to a thread about the oil spill and for some reason did so in rhyme. The idea for this thread came to me and here it is.

WE CAN CREATE AN EPIC POEM FOR POSTERITY

I am sure there are many out there who have more inside about this terrible disaster than me and I am sure I have much more to say about this and the MANY aspects of the fallout this catastrophe has caused.
