Poetic Verses
The Effect Of Oil
In those pages of history that's where many stories were told
People were always attracted when there is that sighting of gold
How there was this mad rush across a country's extremity by many
Hoping that they by some stroke of luck can get one nugget into the kitty
It was amazing how the sediment of those many river beds got strained
To see if among those other dregs something remotely yellow remain
Whilst those who were unsuccessful harbor those murderous intentions
Because no matter how hard they tried, the results were always nothing
Then as time progressed another material came quite quickly to the fore
Because there was something from the earth's interior they could explore
Those fortunate enough soon acquire a name that was coined a tycoon
As they acquired such great wealth courtesy of the then oil boon
What a difference such a finding made to the state of an economy
Bringing in such resources and being taken by those tankers across the sea
Then it become such a great dependency by many for a source of energy
So therefore many things mobile profited from its great and lasting efficiency
Now that wealth derived brought dispute between neighboring territories
As some of those countries now want to shift the lines of their boundaries
Now smelling that air which now loaded with the such financial potential
Have now compromised relationships that were cordial and amicable
Now there are not only sources on the land but there is some under the sea
There was little delay before this too was extracted in a great quantity
But this too brought between countries an atmosphere that is so volatile
Since because of the this may want to extend the formerly agreed upon nautical water miles
In their green some prospectors failed in their attempt or totally neglect
The severity of their deed, and that threat of an environmental impact
So when a tanker runs aground and it disgorges its cargo of crude in the water
There is such a degree of contamination that may extent to many a border
Those marine lives who were so accustomed to such a pristine domain
Are now under threat and their livelihood at such a strain to sustain
Since all this added impurities have compromise their bodies function
So the only answer will be one that will result in massive marine life destruction
There will be no end to those numbers of who will have cause to suffer
Because one set of people only see themselves gaining from such a matter
But it is funny how often people seem to care about something even better
When they will be in a situation, which may place them in the same danger?
