Oil Spill

Pelicans Dipped in a hard oil exteriors in LOUSIANA ARE SUFFERING Why must natures angels suffer from human destruction Their mouths quieted by the fact that their vocal chords are voiceless and they choke on liquids humans define as precious But their eyes like a crystal balls show that their hope is beginning to deteriorate Their angelic feathers now drooping like 10000 lb heavy weights Agonized by poisons they grieve the acknowledgement of what a beautiful life they could have had............. before we took it without consent Lackluster from exhaustion they hang their heavy heads Defeated, is their miracle coming to save them yet? Such graceful beauteous creatures lay with their feet in the air many are inanimate Still they hang on defiant against the weary arm of death Awaiting to soar higher than the sunset

A very prescient poem and well written. I found one point very interesting that was made - "...and choke on liquids humans define as precious," sometimes we forget that oil is actually a part of nature, we just extract it for a our modern needs. Regards Gavin
