Pounding Silence MAG
The pounding waves of 'laska's coast
Were soon to feel the wrath
When tankers under U.S. flag
Left poison in their path.
Ocean waters of brilliant blue,
Harbor seals, sharks, and whales,
All would meet their needless death.
Nature dies when man fails.
The pounding waves of 'laska's coast
Churned up the slimy froth,
And oil slicks that spread for miles
Formed their deadly broth.
Ocean waves of brilliant blue
Underwent horrid change.
Nature's creatures turned black and slick
Whenever in the oil's range.
The pounding waves of 'laska's coast
Began to beat their dirge.
With each last gasp and final breath
life gave in to death's urge.
Ocean waters of brilliant blue
Were silenced by the weight
Of dark, thick slime and heavy mass
Spelling out coastal fate.
The pounding waves of 'laska's coast
Have silenced life for all;
Washed up shells of ocean life
Left to rot in the fall.
Ocean waters of sickening black
Remain to tell the tales
Of nature's dark and stormy death
Caused when man slips and fails.
