Will It Be Solved Sooner?

tinkering
on luck one hits
carelessly an
oil lick,

beyond control
oil spreads farther than
your eyes can see

birds soon bathed in
oil, algae no longer growing
corals are dying

a marine world destroyed
with man's
reckless imprudence,

will it be solved sooner
before it reaches you?
