Hear the cries of the many
\nThe great tragedy
\nThe oceans are dying
\nCetaceans now be
\nCertain of stresses
\nComing their way
\nFrom the plastic
\nAnd the rubbish
\nAnd human dismay<\/p>\n
The realisation
\nUndeniably
\nWhere the great expanse
\nWas as clean as could be
\nWhere our gods were resident
\nAnd where they tried
\nTo temper our freedoms
\nAnd where we relied<\/p>\n
On an ethos of purity
\nJust everywhere
\nRelated connected
\nWhere we could all share
\nThe bounty the symmetry
\nThe rhythm of life
\nThe immortal pathways
\nAway from the strife<\/p>\n
The balance of Nature
\nWas just everywhere
\nIt had an evenness
\nBeyond compare
\nIt was affirmative
\nHeaven on earth
\nA world of abundance
\nWith such glowing worth<\/p>\n
Then came mankind
\nWhose arrogance too
\nGrew stronger and more powerful
\nAnd what did accrue
\nWas an ocean to where
\nMan could dump and throw away
\nWhat he chose to
\nAnd fill up the ocean each day<\/p>\n
With the plastic the bags and the sacks
\nAnd so
\nAll sorts of random things
\nPart of the flow
\nGreat sheets of plastic
\nAnd netting now be
\nMaking their way across the salt sea<\/p>\n
And we are the victims
\nAll of us here
\nFiltering water the baleen of fear
\nHarmony lost
\nTo the randomness where
\nWe swallow and wallow
\nIn utter despair<\/p>\n
All of us fooled by the
\nTransparency
\nThe bedlam the chaos
\nIrregularity
\nYour lack of discipline
\nSlovenliness
\nThe tumult the frenzy
\nThe you don\u2019t care less<\/p>\n
The great demonstration
\nOf garbage and spill
\nWe swallow and wallow
\nAnd some become still
\nTo the evils and chemical brews
\nIt contains
\nTo the vile disruptions?
\nthat enters our brains<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when we hurt so and suffer
\nAnd sigh
\nMany are aching
\nAnd many more cry
\nOur digestion is ruined
\nOur bodily parts
\nTangled in fishing gear
\nWhich breaks our hearts<\/p>\n
The vast contaminants
\nNow everywhere
\nThe glyphosate PCB\u2019s
\nCadmium ware
\nPolythene man made
\nBoundless desire
\nFooled by it all
\nWe dissolve in the fire<\/p>\n
Beach ourselves
\nGive up the ghost
\nLose our way
\nMake our appeals to you
\nEveryday
\nBleeding inside ourselves
\nTortured and lost
\nCrawling with illness
\nWhich is at a great cost<\/p>\n
Appealing aloud
\nThrough the winds in the night
\nUnder the moon and the sun we delight
\nIn swimming our way
\nAround this earth and we
\nAppeal to you all as to what we can see<\/p>\n
Great lines of hooked nets
\nPlastic sheeting galore
\nBottles and bottles and crates
\nAnd what\u2019s more
\nAll the souls suffer
\nThe big and the small
\nPerpetual evil
\nThat is our call<\/p>\n
Whale after whale
\nShark after shark
\nTurtles and eels
\nAre calling their mark
\nAll are ingesting the
\nPuke of humane
\nThe science of nothingness
\nAnd the insane<\/p>\n
Wastage of garbage
\nThat will not degrade
\nThe ugliest sprawl
\nThat sadly is laid
\nDown on The beaches
\nAnd onto the beds
\nIn the water it\u2019s sits
\nAnd in death it sheds<\/p>\n
It obvious perils
\nAll over the place
\nIt\u2019s even now entering the human race
\nWho eat fish and molluscs
\nThat\u2019s what we know
\nThat\u2019s why we beach ourselves
\nFrom out of the flow<\/p>\n
We the great whales.the cetaceans of old
\nWe are so suffering
\nAnd we are sold
\nOn cleaning the oceans not
\nReaching their core
\nWe just cannot tolerate
\nYour shit any more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
