Plastic Pollution

You can cry, a tear drops down
You can drink, you can wash, the source?
The beautiful, wide, deep, clear crystal ocean
Which reflects the blue sky.
Meanwhile, it crashes against the rough rocks,
Meanwhile, it covers the ugly, dirty, horrendous past
It covers the suffering animals,
The suffering animals, that were only looking for food
The suffering animals that were hidden away.
Toxic poisons fill the sea
The sea WE toxicated
The sea WE turned a blind eye to
The sea where WE only looked at the top
To look underneath the underneath,
Is what we must do
Before we end up there too.
The perfect picturesque ocean you once admired
How will you change it back into what you desired?
