A Long-Necked Lament

A long-necked lament,
To those dear turtles
Whose babies got trapped under cement
A long-necked lament,
To those dear turtles
Whose shells humans left with a dent
A long-necked lament,
To those dear turtles
Whose species is on the descent
A long-necked lament,
To those dear turtles
Whose lives we must protect.
