I'M NOT GONNA CRY 060810 - NO MAN'S LAND

James Michael Taylor

Anyone see the pelicans and the dead fish floating in the oil? (In the midst of the Great Gulf Leak.)

I’M NOT GONNA CRY

Oil-covered pelicans smother
Feathered brother.
I’m not gonna cry.

I’m not gonna cry

Turtles and dolphins and sharks and big whales
Sea gulls and jelly fish losing their tails
Crabs and oysters struggle for breath
The shine on the water - petroleum death

I’m not gonna cry…

When I look to the future
I’m not hopeless.
Well, maybe a little bit

I’m not gonna cry…
