Response to poem "We Cannot Choose But Hear"

This poem speaks loudly of the pain, the injustice of what is happening to the land, the earth we live in. The damage that greed and power hungry individual have sacrificed our world for their temporary pleasures. We are changing the evolution of our world and not in a good way. This oil debacle has made me realize that man does not have all the answers but we sure know how to create a disaster. We can be to arrogant and with that arrogance comes the selfishness . The suffering of the animals – birds, sea creatures – is of ginormous proportions. The families and lives affected is massive. Who knows the real calamity of this situation? No one does – the effects will be for decades to come. The irony of this is that if we want BP to pay for this we must make sure they don’t go out of business. I am also upset at how the people is projecting blame on the President. Really, what more can he do? I understand that they are upset, we all are and they need to stay focus on the problem at hand and don’t make idiotic remarks.
