Dear Lake Okeechobee
I apologize
For our ignorance
I thank you
For your patience
Through decades of
Game playing
By federal, state, and local
Organizations
Arguing, manipulating, talking
So much talk
So little truth
Meanwhile
You wait
But how much longer
Will you be able to hold
Listening to the arguments
That are growing very old
