Tragedy of Mankind

It has been five weeks already,
When the oil spills out.
Everywhere is covered with oil, 
Everything is killed.

All the innocent animals,
the whole innocent habitat,
Ruined by mankind in a few hours,
how tragic is it.

Mankind are destined to ruin,
Ruin the environment Earth have bestowed on us,
We are nothing more than killers,
being the murders of our own kind.

You see dead jellyfish floating on top,
Six dolphins has died,
Birds have flown with oil on their feathers,
the water is greatly poisoned.

Why must we treat our planet this way?
Why must we drain its resources?
If taking is not enough,
ruining it makes us more satisfied.

There is no way to fix this now,
but maybe in years to come.
Hope this tragic oil spill,
Will help us find our way out.
