“Offshore Drilling is Completely Safe.”
Many of Our Politicians Today
Another horrific oil spill, just this past week
Over 400,000 gallons of thick oil were spilled
Our Gulf Coast was already drenched in fuel oil
Yet with their proclamations, our leaders are thrilled
When Hurricane Katrina had roared into the Gulf Coast
Many of our leaders also claimed that no oil had spilled out
But we soon found thousands of left behind pets covered in it
Environmental hazards in offshore drilling exist without a doubt
This latest spill on the Gulf Coast has already affected wildlife
And it is now impacting our precious wetlands on the Gulf Coast
We already have the world’s largest oceanic Dead Zone in this area
“But offshore drilling is completely safe!” our so called leaders boast
Before you jump on the ‘Lift the Moratorium on Offshore Drilling’ crusade
Please think about the dire consequences for our California and Florida coasts
And think about your own pets, and seals and shorebirds, covered in life-ending oil
Offshore Drilling will never be completely safe, despite our politicians’ many lame boasts
Pursuing Alternative Energy Solutions,
Is The Only Way Out of This Oil Quagmire;
Even With More & More Horrific Offshore Drilling,
Our Fuel Costs Will Continue To Rise, Higher and Higher
“Don't let some hell bent heart,
Leave you bitter;
When you come close to selling out,
Reconsider.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance.”
Lee Ann Womack,
I Hope You Dance
