Gulf Of Mexico
When I went down
To Waveland, Mississippi,
I went to the gulf
Here I saw a bridge.
The bridge once connected two cities.
But the bridge was now destroyed.
It was usable no more.
The beach smelled quite putrid
The ocean there was black
If someone had said,
That I had seen the end of the world,
I would not have disagreed with that.
For the view of the gulf
Said this is the end of all life
It was as if I had seen death's waters
As if all life had been sucked out.
So I laid down there and cried
I said,
"Oh Hosannah,
My Lord and King
How many must die?"
He answered me in a still small voice,
"Just a little while longer,
Stay silent as the black
Horse rides."
Paul D. Eccles
