so, whadya think?

clear black seas

live feed after the jump.

Tar balls’ toxic, CNN watchin’

MSNBC is on the topic

FOX news dally on Barry O. as if he start it

Headline News steady talkin’

All this time nobody’s doing anything real to stop it

Burn the top off, but ain’t soppin’ from the bottom

BP, a customer, you’ve lost him

Never going back, that’s a promise

Tip toeing around the real problem

Solder up the hole, get the hay out

Time to clean up the water

There are

Many other effective

And green options

Chemical dispersants have failed

And constant exposure to the water

Kills the flora and the fauna

Dead zones poppin’ up

Dolphins, whales, fish dyin’, with the belly up

In the O₂ depleted gulf, swimming through a petri cup

When it hits the coastline that’s a different story

Globules’ washing up already

Unfortunately the storm hit and as the fan with the shit

Spread the mess expanded the cesspit

The sputtering relief efforts furthered in it’s descent

With the british pilot fightin’ sleep in the cockpit

And the main engine still leakin’ fluid

R2 unit on the wing with no toolkit

Just rub some dirt on the wound, that’ll do it

That kinda talkin? Golf ball garbage

Man,

Tryna plug the hole with golf balls, garbage, sand

Disregard what’s in charge on the wetlands

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the muck

Clean ‘em up with the dish soap

Those that ain’t croak

Not to mention the boats that can’t fish for the oyster shrimp

If hope floats send them a boat load

2 months in with no end in sight

Ready to plug the hole with the pinchin’

Not to mention ready to not pay the compensation

To end folks plight, an imitation of right

Tar balls toxic, marred in the politics

Tryna pass the buck like a dollar tip

Oceanic’s are nonpartisan even if the hearts of men

Are turned off to Neptune hollerin’

“save me, save me!!”

Gulf on their knees prayin’, “lord why we?”

1^st katrina, then gustav, BP

Andrew had the panhandle rattled back in 93

Back in 92 touched land with the blind speed

Nowadays disasters man made with the blimey

The clock’s tickin’

No time to be sittin’ on our hands, wishin’

For a miracle, we gotta make it happen

HEAL THE GULF!

we live in a consumer culture. the byproduct of our culture is that we demand our products and services to be provided as quickly and inexpensively as possible. in return, producers choose their methods in order to maximize the amount of a product that demand entails. in many industries this means turning to the latest technological advances, streamlining production to an efficiency unattainable with manual labor alone. in others it means perfecting a tried and true method. when the system works it leads to innovations that catapult an industry into the future. unfortunately, sometimes the product itself can hold an society back. one product that exemplifies this problem is energy, or specifically, energy production. though technology has advanced exponentially in the past 100 years, the way we power it has remained largely the same. coal, which has been used for hundreds of years to provide heat and power is still the most widely used power source in the nation. petrol, another post-centennial fossil fuel, is still the standard for powering automotive, aeronautical, and marine vehicles. despite their effectiveness, the side effects of their use outweigh the benefits. though there is ample research to suggest that the burning of fossil fuels is causing considerable damage to the atmosphere, new technologies have been slow to develop or be adopted by the industry. it is also a well known fact that fossil fuels are a finite resource. knowing this, fossil fuel producers have been inclined to steadily raise prices to compensate for the diminishing supply. when one considers that alternative energy sources have been in development since the 1950s, and have existed in principle since the early 19th century, it's safe to assume that future generations will view our willingness to accept such an archaic and inefficient practice with bewilderment.
