Oil Spilled Out

Conglomeration of fragmented oil
Angry spirits burst forth
grotesque faces as on an 
oil painting exploding all hopes

The angry beasts of yesteryears
Carelessness cease to care for 
the incredible burden as 
hopes fade away and life dies

Anger seeps into the millenium
crawl spaces of yesteryear and 
holes of tomorrow to stare
irresponsibility in the face of bp

Oil spilled out in brains
And as a new light shines on trauma
for the holes of humanity.......
"Save the last of the last after the blast!"

And the Ocean cries out to cleanse itself
and rid itself of the anguish of the human
made fringe experience...out of the norm 
of normal as America only truly is!
