SEA GULL DRENCHED IN OIL
SEA GULLS DRENCHED IN OIL-FEATHERS OF OILY BLACK:
MESSY THICK GREESY OIL ON THERE BACK:
THE OIL IN THE WATER SO FILTHY AND BLACK:
OUR WILDLIFE IN THE GULF HAS BEEN UNDER ATTACK:
THE BP-OIL COMPANY IS TO BLAME:
THIS OIL LEAK CATASTROPHE IS A SHAME:
MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF OIL HAS SPREWED UNSTOPPABLE IN THE OCEAN:
THE WORLD WANTS TO KNOW HOW WILL IT BE STOPPED AND WHEN:
THE LIVILIHOOD OF MANY HAS CEASED:
PEOPLE OF THE GULF REGION HAVE BEEN GREASED:
THE ECO SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESTROYED:
THE WAY OF LIFE FOR SO MANY AGAIN WILL NEVER BE ENJOYED:
IT IS A MAN MADE DISASTER:
THAT OF THIS MAGNITUDE HAS EVER OCCURED:
THE COMMON MAN WANTS TO KNOW WHEN WILL THIS MASSIVE OIL LEAK CEASE:
SO CLEAN UP CREWS CAN CLEAN UP THIS MESS AT LEAST:
WHAT HAS MAN DONE TO PRISTINE MOTHER EARTH:
IS IT EQUAL TO ALL THE BILLIONS THESE OIL COMPANIES ARE WORTH:
I HOPE EVERY PENNY OF PROFIT AND MORE:
WILL BE STRIPPED FROM BP--TO RESTORE THE OCEAN AND WETLANDS SHORE:
SOME ECO SYSTEMS ARE RUINED WITH NO CHANCE TO RETURN:
IS IT REALLY WORTH ALL THE BILLIONS THIS OIL COMPANY EARNED:
THE HABITAT OF OUR PRECIOUS WILD LIFE CAKED IN OIL"
THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES ALONG THE GULF COAST COVERED WITH NASTY TAR BALLS SPOILED:
AS I SPEAK THE OIL CONTINUES TO SPREW INTO THE OCEAN WATERS DEEP:
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD MOURN AND WEEP:
HOW CAN WE REST UNTIL THIS MASSIVE OIL LEAK IS CAPPED:
UNTIL THIS LEAK IS STOPPED AND ZAPPED:
THEY SAY MID AUGUST IS WHEN THE RELIEF WELLS WILL BE DONE:
NOT UNTIL THEN WILL THIS BATTLE BE WON:
SOONER THAN LATTER WE HOPE AND PRAY THIS LEAK WILL CEASE:
SO THE CLEAN UP EFFORT CAN BEGIN AT LEAST:
