The Oil Spill

My shores was once filled with life Where people made memories that were cherished along the beaches Has passed too soon Sun baked bodes No longer scattered in the sand Handmade castles covered with black tar Sullied by the big spill, never to be rebuilt Surfers once sailed her waves Beach goers once stung by jellyfish has stay home Screamers’ rushing from the waters has been silenced Sun-burned bodies no longer seek sun block The memories of the beaches past will forever Be etched in the hearts of sad faces who watched gushing oil spill
