A Breakaway

22 June 2010 A Breakaway For mankind has the power to think big History puts them on the pedestal of their career Aimless drifting until fatally engaged into a drilling rig Raised a surface at the heart of the sea to exploit oil on its frontier Oil wells at the deepest sea-bed formed million years ago Also, a marine habitat that proliferates at the cold bottom Rendezvous for waterfowl and aquatic mammals arrived apropos To add spectacle to the blue water, as accustomed The freshwater flowing in a cascade of sparks The sea free access to an ocean while some in landlocked Life on Earth comes in the seas and we proceed to embark As ocean currents supply the heat energy round the clock Many ritually unclean substances are passing into oceans Adulterating the purity of water in its freshness Oil spills from off-shore and tanker spread discoloration Suffocating marine life and ingesting illness Chronicling the ecological cycle literally affect the food chain Stripping resistant to their organic structure and suffer From the toxins of oil spill prevents water replenishment Coating aquatic surface with stain holding tougher A closer look at dead birds and aquatic mammals Leaving a baleful mark on the waterways Cleaning up the breakdown oil is costly and fatal That I may see no more escalating sense of bad omen into the ocean’s forays 13th place winner to: GULF OIL SPILL CONTEST 7/4/2010 Sponsored by Team PoetrySoup
