Plastic Oceans Glass Cages

Splash! 
Down for another dive
But wait!
What is this?
No fish?
No turtles?
No sea life?
Just plastics
Plastics and dead coral!
Our oceans destoryed
My lifelong hobby gone. 
Sea creatures kept behind glass 
where grubby fat hands tap at them 
staring with widened gazes
Sadness is not a strong enough word 
Not strong enough to describe what we have done. 
Protectors of the earth?
More like destroyers of habitats. 
Don't let this nightmare become truth.
