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 August 21, 2016
