Non Human Persons
Majority of earth belongs to them
They are the humans of the ocean
Unlike the ones on the land, me and you
They're living the life they were intended to
Half of their species aren't starved and diseased
Like the greed and destruction we have achieved
They don't pollute their own environment
Our world to them is an embarrassment
And even worse, our mess spreads to their space
Oil covering birds and seals, it is a disgrace
Dolphins are now called non human persons
And more at risk as our pollution worsens
If they could speak our language, I wonder what they'd say
Maybe they would tell us, just how to live the right way
