It's our fault, isn't it

I watch from the weathered cliff faces,
As frothy seafoam washes up
I wonder what's beyond the surface,
Beyond what we can see...
Palaces of coral, swarming with fish,
Gliding stingrays, cruising the sand
A flash of claws, between barnacle-covered rocks
This is what we see,
"Constant ethereal beauty"
Sea turtles, asleep, day and night
Plastic jellyfish, lethal and cunning.
We throw it away, into the ocean, into the sea
It's our fault, it's all our fault
Fix the ocean!
Reverse the damage
We can destroy, but can we repair?
We must wait
We must hope
We must combine
