The Gulf of Mexico – A Poem by Mardy Bryant

In the Gulf of Mexico,
Where the oil continues to flow.
Where it’s going no one knows.
There is so much anger and hostility.

This is not who we were created to be.
If we want to see changes in this oil,
We must send light and love
Instead of hate and turmoil.

What we judge comes upon us,
This we see.
Our words and our thoughts
Create our reality.

So focus and speak what
You want to see.
We can continue to place
Blame and shame.

But ask yourself is this;
Does this help stop the disaster
Or end its pain?
This disaster is horrible at best.

We must realize this is a test.
Will we pass the test and change our ways?
So we and nature can have brighter days.
It’s time to focus on the creatures
Below and above.

To them we need to send
Healing and love.
We got into this situation,
Because of money and greed.
This became the almighty seed.

We reap what we sow indeed.
Now look at the stories in the economy.
Let’s change our seed to light and love,
Then we will see peace like a dove.

Look what happened when The Man
Spoke peace to the storm.
The disaster stopped and went back to the norm.
We need to unite with nature and the sea.

Let’s ask for forgiveness for our greed.
Let’s focus our intention on the outcome
We want to see.
And stop the fear, anger, and the greed.

In every disaster comes a blessing.
Let’s accept our blessing and learn our lesson.
It’s time to unite you and me,

So we can create the paradise
The ocean is supposed to be.
