Poem by Me About the Oil Spill
Deep Water Horizon, Memorial Day, 2010
To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
-- Deu 32:35 (KJV)
-- Deu 32:35 (KJV)
Medea is sitting by her kitchen table, plotting revenge
What shall become of this? Death is a bog, a mire that brings a Tharos near.
Medea considers of all of her fears like spending gravity.
They are spilling out of her like the liquid petroleum from the channels of the sea
in the Gulf of Mexico.
The chorus says:
"Flow back holy river of oil, whether it be unnatural to be reversed.
does not matter--what matters is that it be first, and then we harvest these insolent japeries
from the men that caused the fraud, those that argue they will produce the desired results.
“Their casuistry is naked, and deepens the jeering.”
Medea is thinking: “The oil companies have sent us poisoned robes, It is what I would have done to them had there been time. but instead we pray for their protection, like foolish ants.
“I shall do evil to those who have done this, and then pray that the changes upon the land and water shall guided by the hand of Providence.
“Now must it be undone, on top of it all, again! I trust that our destiny is true and vengeance has no vision for me any longer, “
