Colourless

Beneath the waves, a world unknown,
In Australia's depths, life's beauty is shown.
Fishes of many hues are hidden in the underwater dome.
The Great Barrier Reef is a gem so bright,
A coral wonderland, a breathtaking sight.
The water, crystal clear
Thriving with life, all so near
Everything swaying with the currents' steers
Coral gardens bathe
Beneath the sun's embrace
Living in peace with no haste
The uninterrupted ecosystem
Which is soon to change
Now faces the fear of a slim chance of escape
Once vibrant, now cold and pale
Resilient but in the end hailed
To the endless plastic trail
Corals enchanted with lively spells
Were sucked of colour
Leaving a dead hollow shell
