Fuel,
lubrication, cosmetics, plastics, power and influence.
All
from a neutral, non-polar chemical substance, viscous liquid,
That
is hydrophobic, immiscible with water or water fearing,
I
take you for granted when I am in my car steering.
Drip, Drip, Drip.
I
wonder why we have not found an alternative renewable.
If
we ran out of you tomorrow, would parting be sweet sorrow?
Time
ticks away as each day we fill the air with carbon dioxide,
The
suns’ radiation cooks our planet hotter and hotter.
Drip,
Drip.
Our
environment suffers, our world seems dirty, full of filth.
Accidents
happen, to err is human, forgiveness divine.
Animals,
aquatic beings and beaches, once sublime,
Until
disaster, oil spills like Deepwater Horizon make us think,
Oil,
gasoline, and fuel at what price, to fill up my tank?
