How do the Fish Feed ???

When heavy rain has caused mass run-off from bare farmland above
and the creek has become murky and muddy reddish browned
How do the fish, the turtles, eels and also tiny shrimp, maintain vision, 
to fossick for their food in the locality where they are found

In the tropic monsoon wet season, it can often take some weeks
before the creek has subsided and the water finally clears
Environmental pollution, that results from mans pursuits,
it's exponential, been happening for years

Will it take mass extinction of most of humankind to return to sanity,
on this beautiful creation, known as planet Earth 
Craziness prevails throughout the human race
common sense and love seems to be in a state of dearth
