Oil Disaster 2010
British dug dead holes never to atone.
Tar ablaze the oil rigs drill and plunder
As golden hands rely on this dead zone,
Beneath white lilies and silver blue seas,
We sanctify black vicious crude as tongues
Digest the depth to clean up this collapse.
Hydrocarbons widen, dark and lifeless
Gallows clocked to drill oil even faster.
The mobs of ice and stone blindly detach.
Owner greed for plankton to deliver,
Simple numb, is taking our future back.
As toxic sludge thrives and all worlds quiver.
We boast of freedom and human rights while
Small life die and are fed to bigger fish...
Who pull dark gold, while politicians thrive
No stopping this micro bio-tic plight.
The natural food chain feeds our own thirst.
