| An underwater realm, your home
|
| Amazing beauty and life abound
|
| With gills instead of lungs
|
| And scales instead of skin
|
| We dismiss you suffering
|
| For to us your form is so foreign
|
| As nets rape the ocean floor
|
| Catching anything in their path
|
| The unwanted and unlucky dead
|
| Tossed back as lifeless trash
|
| As they are dragged on deck
|
| Could it be they’re drowning in air
|
| With no voice for us to hear
|
| And no way to show their fear
|
| Oceans filled with plastic debris
|
| Toxic dumping ground for humanity
|
| Up the chain of life they choke
|
| And die on our garbage. |
| We pull them
|
| From their world with only us in mind
|
| When will we learn that we are not
|
| The only ones who live here?
|
| Is it too late to change our fate
|
| As we empty the waters?
|
| Drowning in air |
