Poetic-Verses
'' There's More To Our Lives Than Oil ''
The Gulf of Mexico is a beautiful place,
Where nature and wildlife abound,
Spoiled by who else but the Human Race,
These disasters no longer confound.
Whenever they happen we say never again,
An enquiry is what is required,
We know for a fact it's not if it's when,
These Bastards deserve to be fired.
Being brutally honest what do they achieve?
Apart from wasting our money,
The outcome reached none of us believe,
If it weren't so sick it'd be funny.
What kind of profits are they making?
When twenty billion dollars can be set aside,
It is nature they are forsaking,
From that we must not let them hide.
To the locals the oceans are their way of life,
Oil destroys all the life in the seas,
Everything that moves is being killed by the strife,
It's them they should be trying to appease.
The oil companies just don't give a damn,
As long as they find more in reserve,
Into their pockets the profits they'll cram,
Nature they don't want to preserve.
Governments must take their share of the blame,
They issue the licences involved,
All of them should hang their heads in shame,
Such disasters will never be resolved.
The entire Human Race is just as bad,
For fuel we have a terrible obsession,
Dependence on what's limited is totally mad,
Our intelligence is in a recession.
As we drill deeper the dangers increase,
But the powers that be just don't care,
We genuinely don't know just what we'll release,
It's a fact that will lead to despair.
Oil is a fuel that is dwindling fast,
It may last just fifty more years,
Thereafter it will be that thing of the past,
That reduced our planet to tears.
While we waste our talents on dangerous fuels,
Sustainability is what we should seek,
The future will show that Human beings were fools,
Earths future outlook is bleak.
We must find alternatives here and now,
Or all life on earth we'll despoil,
Underwater drilling we must not allow,
' There's More To Our Lives Than Oil '
