Oil Spell

Jose Zuniga

The last letter of a false man

proposes that I leave today

as I found it

full of corrupted life

America's frozen metaphorically

(in some parts not-so)

Mexico has fallen--

we do nothing

Egypt is falling--

we do nothing

except maybe "hey, bring me another coffee"

now our teeth have fallen--if only--

then we couldn't lie anymore

about all we do for people,

is it about people or profit,

I asked me this during the oil spill,

the world is an oil spill,

who will clean it up?
