The Whale Sonnet
While the song I sing is being sung
It can be heard through the ocean
I, like you, use my lungs
The world should live in simple harmonic motion
I have never hurt you
In fact, I’ve kept my place of living in check
I do my job, what have I done to you?
Why would you want me on that boat deck?
You’ve taken my food and my safety
You let your trash float my way
Is this what happens in your society
Do you leave garbage where your children play?
Not only are you destroying my home
You are destroying your own
