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
