“One Final Chance”


  1. The tide collides against rocky shorelines.

  2. Under the swell marine animals swim,

  3. Between stuff which does not belong, shows signs

  4. Of vile actions that fill the seas to brim.

  5. Floating plastic debris submerge the wild

  6. Suffocating the once-thriving ocean.

  7. Scraps on scraps lives lost in trash, which compiled

  8. From a species showing no emotion

  9. But there can be a difference today

  10.  So others can hear the soft sounds of waves.

  11. Giving dolphins a healthy home to play,

  12. Where the water sparkles like jewels in caves

  13. Suspend your reckless acts of extinction,

  14. There’s one final chance to save creation.
