GULF COAST OIL SPILL POEM
Overrun by war and uncontrolled greed
Our world becomes more dangerous each day.
Dishonest politicians, criminals and the media
Survive by their falsehoods at play.
Bible believers preach, that the end is near
Our world as a whole is beyond reform.
God will eradicate all, which is wicked
By His fire of eruption and storm.
To evil’s victory, I will never concede
May its supporters anguish in hell.
By the grace of God and the power of faith
The goodness of man will prevail.
What greed has done, Heaven will measure
As patriots respond to the blunders of man.
Protect and defend what we love till death
As tar balls pollute the air, sea and land.
By Soldier For The Lord

BP is committed to paying all legitimate claims for damages resulting:
Make them Pay: www.bp.com/claims
BP should pay the millions of unemployed people to go fix this epic mess. I'd be out there in a minute to see and help what is really going on. The oil disaster is going to affect our grandchildren and other future generations, especially the wildlife. The is no excuse for ruining an ocean. If there is anything to work for, this rescue is it. They should go broke in the process of fixing it, because in my heart there is no redemption. God only knows what is really going on, our media can not report the full agenda.
