To the Gulf of Mexico (To Be Renamed Gulf of Dead Silence)
Sweet Empty gulf farewell
all the animals I've known so well
adrift among the lifeless waves
corroding in the grim sun's rays.
Oh the dim murk reeks of death
the odors cause my nose distress
I'll never see the water blue
consumed forever by BP's Crude.
- To every animal that has swam, trot, or flew
I bid thee all adieu
I'll miss you.
