Deadly Intruder
Coral reefs pristine white
Nurtured by warm southern seas
A cathedral in the water world
Sheltering all life therein
Oil gushing from below
Freed by man from pressured chambers
The black viscous alien scourge
Of a living sea
Magnificent coral reef
Created over countless millenniums
Destroyed instantly
By the deadliest of intruders
Man
