One with Your World


I dreamed about joining the divine dryland mermaids. Little did I know that they were not as perfect as they seemed to be. What do you call it? War? Money? Power? It's tearing your world apart!  We have gadgets and gizmos that help us advance and promote peace. They say the depths of the ocean is scary, but what scares us is the flashes of light we know as violence. 
Oh how I long to help change your life as you know it, we could live and work together, get rid of your whosits and whatsits that cause destruction, and enter a new era. But before we start that, I need to prove to you that we can help. Maybe this cute sailor can help with our goal...
