Aberrations

4/29/10

Listening to the BBC

about BP's oil leak

in Gulf of Mexico,

soiled water, land habitat,

disrupted livelihoods, usual business,

effecting animals and humans,

some say it's rare

a drop in bucket

on scale of oceans,

that industry is safe,

basically, while creating jobs

as needed support services,

no one checking hindsight

whether drilling is insane

to feed progress machine

overtly accelerated, subsidized, greedy,

while humanity forgets Reason,

'Living wisely, agreeably, well,'

joyful, is no aberration.
