‘Gulf Requiem’
Venerable and poignant
a once treasured proverb died here.
Oil calming troubled waters
now a mere cliché:
speak no more an ancient wisdom,
sigh for a proverb dead here.
No more of oil on troubled waters:
oil made this a troubled sea.
Requiem for a dead proverb
and the wild life stricken here.
