GULF OIL SPILL poetry thread **EPIC GLP POEM** CONTRIBUTE YOUR THOUGHTS HERE!!
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.

Share your poetry here.



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.


to be continued..........

Feel free to add your thoughts to this EPIC poem from GLP.

**Important**
Just copy and paste the previous to keep the poem complete before you add your stanzas.

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.

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 BLACK Horizon

The Babylonian whore is dripping with lust
Her hips are gyrating with each frantic thrust
Pumping her lubricant up though a crack
B P is the fall guy taking the flack

Birds of a feather soiled with the oil
Perfect white beaches, stained now and soiled
Fire on the water, fumes in the air
Toxins keep rising, to much to bear

Images scrubbed removed from the web
And videos showing the toll of the dead
Not so easy to scrub, a line in the sand
Not crossed by the media, where do you stand?

A news blackout that’s darker, even than tar
About what is happening right where you are!
Soon the magnitude obvious, impossible to hide
The three wise monkeys simultaneously cried

We could hear it, and see it, now we all shout
It was so fucking obvious without any doubt
Like an ostrich stood with your head in the sand
OIL lapping over your feet right where you stand

Stay there my friend and soon you will see
The folly of the wise monkeys... really all three!
You know it is coming as night follows day
The religious now frantically all heard to pray

Save us dear God from this terrible plight
Struggling for breath now is a fight
A miracle is needed that is for sure
You’ve lived your life like an angel and been so pure

Why hast thou forsaken me, some bound to cry
As all around them is death and there loved ones now die
Biblical proportions; Armageddon some say
For many this for certain, is their judgement day!

Beyond the horizon a new day is dawning
Some for certain will be dead by the morning
As into the Abyss humanity falls
The gusher continues and constantly boils

Deeper and deeper into despair we all sink
The once crystal clear waters now blacker than ink
Laying the blame at this door and that
Whatever happened to that ‘Top Hat’?

A nuke some now think is answer we need
With no end in sight for our insatiable greed
Armchair experts with their fingers on the keys
Tapping away like a circus of fleas

I’ll tell you what to do, why don’t you listen!
While the oil slick is growing its sheen starts to glisten
Red is the colour of some I have seen
Believe me when I say it’s truly obscene

Under water the plumes stay hidden for a while
As news anchors’ each day the populous beguile
The World Cup a distraction for many a plebeian
With one eye on the ball a true cyclopean

The second wise monkey now forced to see
What the first Monkey heard, the third told to me
Now hear what I’m saying... search deep inside
The truth is within you, the controlled media lies

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.
