Pollution Ruining the Environment

Our oceans and rivers, once so limpid, have become huge dumps for industries and sewages, doesn't the stench make anyone sick? Blame your inactive Congressman for not halting the daily, illegal dumping; do you propose an urgent ban, or walk straight into the snare, not fretting? Take a short walk on the beach at any hour; spot golden trout, bluefish and shellfish dying from pollution, writhing on the sand...this is their graveyard? Are we an advanced civilization without any intuition? Seabirds may be the lucky ones for instance, to find easy food, but they might also be at risk from the poison that's killing every kind of fish; and how can people pass by them and still glance? If I were running for Governor of my beautiful state, I would stop this madness, although some may be outraged; should I watch pollution ruin the environment and wait? If corruption has prevailed, woe to anyone not heeding my word!
