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!
