All that should be should simply be
The ocean blue should be considered the sea
All that is should simply be

The black has been said to have mixed with the water
The gulf is thus engulfed
The sea is no longer the sea
it isn't what it should be
but it is what it is and that is how it should be seen

What ought to be is separate from what is
It shouldn't be a journey to make that distinction
the truth should be the truth and not be in extinction.
Extinction meaning suppression
The Black is in reference to the oil spills by both Royal Dutch Shell (in 2016) and BP (in 2010)
