There is a cloud of death descending over the gulf of mexico.
No different from the death that descended on John Kennedy or Dr. King.
The same forces at work.
They kill off the best of us. For money.
There are myriads of creatures dying now.
Birds and Dolphins and Whales and all kinds of fish,
Turtles and shrimp and herring and barracuda,
Tarpon and Marlin and sharks and parrot fish
Scallops and oysters and mussels and lobsters,
Seagulls and eagles, hawks and songbirds,
Every creature who lives naturally there,
Is dying
and the tiny creatures
At the foundation of the human food chain.
Like Abel's, their blood cries out from the ground.
Even the bankers can't ignore Death.
A United of the living is crucial now.
No more nations, no more borders, no more papers.
Inalienable means everyone.
Every one who will feel this cloud of death inexorably.
May Allah, The Merciful. The Compassionate,
See the living brought to safe harbor,
When the tears of the dying
End.
