Ode To Petroleum

ODE TO PETROLEUM I In the past coal reigns without any challenges, But now,the modern glory is petroleum-a toothful fact, Found juxtapose with natural gas Formed from dead remains of marine plants and animals, Thick and viscous,dark and real~the black Gold To be refined and distillated to perform better, No matter your class,you cannot ignore him, A source of power,power to move and glow, which makes the economy to flow. II You are so unique,Many countries struggle to possess, For your energy supply is immense, Your selling price controls the world`s economy, A wonderful dream for the Persian gulf, Fuel is needed by the mighty to foster his strength, Lose control and become toothless, Nations rising against Nations to have a taste, You are sweeter than honey,better than milk, Ye!,A great relieve to man. III You gave birth to plasticos.., which is classic-whether thermoset or thermoplast, packaging is better,finishing is splendid, anti-bacteria,anti-corrosive and heat-resistant, putting smiles on the faces of many actors, Engineers are elated and their skills showcased, Imagine a universe without automobiles and plastics,I mean YOU! ...Alternatives are being sought but yet,None. Petroleum the energy savior;Kudos to you.
