Something New To Do
Something New To Do
All the world
was a stage while
black crude emptied
into the ocean blue,
everyone tuned in and
offered their two cents on
how to contain this
oil spout that spewed.
What if no one pointed
fingers at each other,
no blaming the
oil conglomerate,
the President of the U.S.,
or the oil rig crew.
What if we just all put
our brain power and resources
together to answer
this environmental riddle
instead of watching cartoons
or going to the zoo.
Once we put two and two
together and came up with an
answer, what if we let
the world as a whole take
the credit for pulling our
efforts together and rising
to the occasion to
save our wild life family,
the one’s in the ocean blue.
What if we started
to wean ourselves off
of the need for this black crude
and got in the mood to walk to work
or ride the tube?
Wouldn’t that be something new?
