Just One Ocean Blue

Hearing the sweet melody My emotions take me away As I listen to the sea And the Ocean underway Feeling the rippling pool tide I voice my harmony I hear the waves that glide They sing their song to me Tasting the salty air There was a whipping breeze Snapping without a care And whistling with great ease Smelling the sandy wetness Where water meets the Earth A seemingly relentless Undercurrent birth I hear, I feel, I taste, I smell This great big Ocean true It is an endless water well Where only fish should rule But, once again, the human rules of life Destroy what it does not see I can feel this Ocean’s strife Can you not hear its plea? This Ocean needs humanity But what do we do in return? We kill it with our insanity And never want to learn Consume not what you cannot give Back to this water deep I know this Ocean wants to live Breathing beauty for all to keep Just one Ocean blue, once pure This water will become a mirage We leave Mother Nature with no cure We pollute her with our garbage Everyone should seek the path Of preserving this Ocean we need She knows a fury full of wrath Beware Mother Nature and take heed!
