environmental mess

the gulf of mexico is an environmental mess:
for a month it has been in great distress:

the bp oil rig erupted fifty miles offshore and sunk to the bottom of the sea:
all living things are under siege in the ocean fighting to breathe and no longer free:

the oil line ruptured sending thousands and thousands of gallons of thick black oil into the ocean every minute now going on a full month
now:
all efforts to cease this terrible leak have failed the world wants to know when will the oil leak stop and how:

this is the worst environmental disaster ever to occur:
even now with new plans to stop this leak the success is not sure:

seems the only solution is by drilling a relief well to take the pressure off of the existing well:
but it wont be completed until august so only time will tell while the environment is surviving this living hell:

man is ruining this earth for there own selfishness and greed:
for all of there materialistic need:

our dependence on oil has to come to an end:
we can never send our environment into this peril again:

alternative natural energy has to be the future to help us grow:
never again can we pollute our environment one mile in the ocean below:

our childrens children deserve better than this:
to restore our beauty of nature has to be every human beings grant and wish:

the bp--oil company giant has sole responsibility for this mess:
they must be held accountable to pay for this more not less:

the world  watches in complete dismay:
to hear that the oil is still leaking thousands and thousands of gallons into our ocean every day:
wee pray that the relief well will very quickly progress:
so this devastating oil leak can be put once and all to rest:

the environment must become our priority:
for you our children the world and me:

a sea turtle gasping for air:
many would say why should we care:
the marsh lands laced in oil will smother and die:
many will see this devastation and cry;

the blanket of dark crude oil blankets the sea:
no longer is our natural habitat safe and free:

what will man kind gain if we let poluttion remain:
to rape the environment is just a shame:

if the environment is not protected now at all cost:
the natural beauty of nature as we know it for our children will be forever lost:
