Gulf Oil Spill

Our ecosystem and wildlife can no longer be ignored The devastation caused by the Gulf oil spill must vastly be restored As anger and frustration surges across the Coast The depletion of our environment, indeed we fear the most Several past months, many lives have been erased In the midst of these disasters, we can only look to faith Now let us pay a visit to some underlying factors Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other natural disasters It was not in their intention for a high tech failed invention Yell still they don't take into account the consequences of their actions Efforts to contain this oil spill is more doltish than we have known What more massive debacles can this single Earth condone? Many local residents are now suffering from depressions So think about what lies ahead, our future generations ©RashanaKing2010

I think you want the title to read GULF with a "u" and not an "o" ... smile ... great writing here about the worst tragedy in my lifetime ... I can't watch the news anymore and while they're busily talking about lost jobs, all I can think of is all the life they've murdered and suffocating oysters .... just tragic!! Well, I'll get off my soapbox now and say Welcome to Poetry Soup, Rashana. I look forward to reading more from you!!
