Sea Religion

when you dive into the sea you're an alien
atmosphere you cannot stay within
the waters surface their o zone layer
a suit to breathe limited time stayer

you cannot adapt and set up settlement
just observe and take in the experience
convoy as a pack and soak up elements
all the while just a full visual sense

to sea creatures you arrive otherworldly
on giant ships they can't comprehend
artificial materials not of the sea
appearing and disappearing no end

maybe smaller fish of trout and cod
consider us creatures of God's
but sharks and whales we're not,
present, absent and then forgot

for we can visit but they can't leave
we pollute the place they breed
or make clean so they can be
fish them up toward heaven believed

appear powerful and able to control
when really nature holds the cards
understanding with knowledge whole
could believe us Gods, when really retards

Congratulations Nick on your 7th place win in the "Jump" contest. I found your dive into the ocean and making it into a religious discussion interesting and offered good jumps. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for entering.
