Ocean Life

Ocean Life

Octopi and cousin squid
Cetaceans roam free
Echinoderms with many arms
And lest we forget the spiraled
Nautili, wonderous creatures

Living lives in an alien world,
Instead of polluting more we need to
Fix the damage already done so
Every creature can survive

Hi Oliver, I really appreciate how you balance a genuine wonder for marine biodiversity with a clear, urgent plea for environmental stewardship. The first stanza reads like a rich, appreciative roll call of the deep. "LIFE" as an acrostic through those final lines gives your message a subtle, intentional anchor. It ties the need to fix environmental damage directly to the very thing we stand to lose if we don't step up. It is our responsibility to protect it. Blessings, Daniel

Shocking the way mankind uses our oceans like a trashcan, the way mankind treats our earth will come back to bite him on the ass. Tom

Very true Tom. I used to scuba dive and sail. I have seen both the good of what's in the ocean and the bad.
