[hometext] => In all my life, I could never have imagined such a horrible disaster. Makes my heart sick, you too?
[bodytext] => GULF OF MEXICO Let history record, and never forget April 20, 2010 a day of fierce regret!  Explosion and fire erupted on "Deepwater Horizon" 11 precious lives were sacrificed in this fiery coffin! Due to man's imperfection, can you hear their cries? Lover's of money, greed, insensitivity, their demise!  Sheila, widow of Donald Clark, who was killed on the oil rig explosion Sobs, uncontrollably as promises are made to compensate the victims for British Petroleum's carelessness.  A hard hat from an oil worker that died, lies motionless all alone. Tragically, who's son, husband, brother, or uncle, it's unknown?  As the oil rig slowly melts below the surface of the water, it hits the well and damages the blowout preventer This is the safety device that stops the flow of oil from the well, as a result, there is no blocker! Crude oil continues to flow from a broken pipe on the seafloor. It has spread thousands of square miles like a leech it sucks the life from everything it encounters, even on the gulf shore!  All creature swimmers or fliers are encased in it's heavy mire strangling them to death. Pulling them under like quick sand, exhausted and out of breath.  This poor brown pelican tried to climb over an oil containment boom Confused, they lose their way, no place for them, oil spill, no room!  There is hope for rescuing these critters, this one caught while in it's nest. This pelican is transported to a stabilization center where he will receive much loving care!  A volunteer washes this brown pelican with Dawn soap removes the oil in a minute. Pepto-Bismo is then given, to clean their insides, smooth as velvet. Two hundred and ninety two birds were brought in over a six week period. Eighty-six were brought in on Sunday just one day how Horrid!  Streaks of oil sheens are seen north of the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill...... Deemed the worst catastrophe in the History of the United States, what is the damage for real? Scientists are saying that it will take years to clean up this devastating disaster! Eleven precious human lives, and creatures of all kinds and sizes, what could possibly be grimmer? Created with much loving care and prayer. Thank you dear Zahra for the marvelous images!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
