Gulf Oil Spill Song inna Reggae Stylee

"THE GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL" [V 2] 
By HIGHAH SEEKAH

Lyrics
Intro

The Second Angel blew his Trumpet
And something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea
A third of the sea became blood
A third of the living creatures in the sea died
And a third of the ships were destroyed
Revelation 8 verse 8 and 9
Is this that time?

Chorus

Oh the oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
Ocean life a die still
While they pointing fingers Mama Earth a cry still

The oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
What price will
We pay, Mama Earth a cry still

Verse 1

Washing up on a beach near you could it come close
Or change the world temperature or cause famine and drought (huh)
Life from Fort Lauderdale Florida east coast
This is Highah Seekah The Journalis, I am your host
Speaking of Florida, off towards its western coast
Out in the Gulf of Mexico, a disaster grows
On April twenty twenty ten Deepwater Horizon blows
Millions a gallons a oil, into the sea it flows (Damn)

Chorus

Oh the oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
Ocean life a die still
While they pointing fingers Mama Earth a cry still

The oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
What price will
The planet pay, Mama Earth a cry still

Verse 2

Crying and she's bleeding as she's never bled
From the wound of an exploded, oil well-head
Will the plants and sea animals, end-up dead
Will the sea become like blood, end-up red
How will this, affect the planet, and the land we living on
The mammals, the fish, the phytoplankton
The cause, corporate commercial exploitation
Effects more environmental damage by man (certain greedy man)

Chorus

Oh the oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
Ocean life a die still
While they pointing fingers Mama Earth a cry still

The oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
What price will
We pay, Mama Earth a cry still

Verse 3

Oil reflects sunlight and blocks evaporation
Which stops condensation, less rainfall and precipitation
With less moisture in the air for re-distribution
Big effects on global temperature and food production
And if that loop current takes it to the Atlantic Ocean
And it reaches the beaches of the east coast and
Pollute Wildlife, rivers yow the repercussion
It will be worse than the damn recession (worse)

Chorus

Oh the oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
Life a die still
While they pointing fingers Mama Earth a cry still

The oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
What price will
We all pay, Mama Earth a cry still

The oil spill
Gulf of Mexico oil spill
Mama Earth a cry still

There's a hole in the Ocean and in our hearts

There's a hole in the Ocean



 Gulf Coast Oil Spill Disaster - Official Music Video - A Hole in the Ocean

This song was written to keep the focus on the BP oil spill disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. This is already the largest environmental disaster in United States History. Dedicated to the 11 men who lost their lives on April 20th, 2010.






1st Verse:

The wave crests on fire

And storm clouds below

The oozing dark monster



Creeps silently slow

The heartache of many

The future unclear

We stand on the shoreline

Surrounded by fear





Chorus:



There's a hole in the ocean

That's breaking my heart

When will it end

Why did it start?



Can we ever return

To our blue watered bay

There's a hole in the ocean

That stands in our way





2nd Verse:



For the diving birds diving

And the fish 'neath the waves

There is so much to do

There is so much to save



With bitter tears stinging

For the ones who were lost

Is there really a way

To assess what this cost?


Bridge:

Eleven souls sailing

That April day

It happened so quickly

'Twas no time to pray

Louisiana Fisherman: "They are using us like laboratory rats."

GRAND ISLE NATIVE REVEALS
BP'S COREXIT SECRETS!!


Grand Isle - Dean Blanchard owns and operates Dean Blanchard Seafood, inc in Grand Isle, La. Dean is very concerned for the health of all gulf coast residents. He talks about BPs continued use of Corexit 9500 even though there is no evidence that it is safe.

Dean reveals in this video a few of the underhanded methods BP is using to cover up their half hearted attempt to clean up the spill. His frustration is clear and his hope for a future in the business he loves died when the Corexit laced blacktide rolled in.

Grand Terre, Only Accessible by Boat, No Protection and Large Deposits of Oil

WHAT OILY UNTENDED BOOM REALLY LOOKS LIKE!






Grand Terre Island, just a 1/4 mile from Grand Isle, and only accessible by boat, had virtually no protection and large deposits of oil could be seen around its shores. Storms and windy conditions happen in an instant and pushes boom up on the shores rendering them useless.

Holiday Weekend No Holiday for Island Community

Lisa Owens of Raceland and her son Brad look off the pier Friday at Grand Isle State Park. Lisa has been visiting Grand Isle often since she was a child. “It's sad,” she said, referring to oil hitting the beach. “I just worry about the poor animals.”

GRAND ISLE — There will be fireworks and parties, like every Fourth of July, on this island where the essence of existence is having a good time no matter what trials may come.

But Grand Isle's legendary joie de vivre, like the marsh plants along its storm-tossed passes, are soaked heavy with the oil from the ongoing Deepwater Horizon disaster.

While residents try to keep up appearances, the makeup is wearing a bit thin.

During the last holiday weekend, Memorial Day, the excitement of a presidential visit was enough of a sideshow to eclipse the specter of oil fouling cherished beaches. A dogged determination to have fun dictated that even if the annual trout-fishing rodeo was canceled, there would be dancing and drinking despite it all. The beach may be closed, but creative signs and dioramas of protest took the edge off. READ COMPLETE STORYY
