050710b Looking Bright In Louisiana Poem by Manonton Dalan

finally a giant box is being lowered
to stop the upward flow of blackgold
hope this will ease the worries soon
fishes will breath fresher air and hunt
fishermen will cast their nets to sea
and sing their morning lullaby at bay

clasp your palms for a moment & pray
this could be what are we waiting for
to stop and continue their livelihood
hope for the clean-up crew to come
do whatever the can to save shoreline
from onslaught of oil globs and brine
