Sea Trash Begone

                                 Sea trash begone, as youth shall surge
                                 with their passion and devotion
                                 Debris where land and water merge
                                 Sea trash begone!

                                 Breakthrough solutions in motion
                                 ending plastic pollution purge
                                 Serene is a blue-green ocean
                               
                                 Unafraid to swim and submerge
                                 inheritors, high echelon
                                 Fallen baton cease and emerge
                                 Sea trash begone!

Duke Beaufort Date: 6/23/2025 5:18:00 AM Anaya, your poem exposes the world of negative externalities. The cost of dumping pollutants everywhere is not properly reflected in our economic models. This is the biggest lie of them all--even bigger than the 2020 election was stolen, which the media calls "the big lie." I always admire poetry on the subject of pollution and yours is a wonderful reminder of how devastating our behavior is. Smiles!!

To clean seas!

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 6/19/2025 6:26:00 AM Going to the beach used to be so beautiful and calming. So sad it has become such a dumping ground. What is wrong with us!!??!!
