THE SEA IS AT WAR


The sea is beautiful and quiet

Always at peace if not disturbed

Enjoying the sporty waves

With the blue reflection matches the sky

 

Looking down with the smiling sun

Upon its salty healing crystals, filled

With the lives of fins, scales, shells and reefs

Showing off their beauty scattered in the deep

 

But the sea is at war

Like we ourselves fighting foreign bodies

Beneath our notice

Behind the rare beauty of this settled water

 

Is pollution to repel this beautiful nature

With sunken dump of cans and paper

Buried debris from deforestation

A vision not granted to embrace the future

 

But I walk beside the splashing waves

And saw how well the sea behave

With dead carcasses buried in the sand

I know the sea is at war in this dreadful land
