Surface Pollution

The surface of the water is filled with pollution, It's sad to see such a precious thing so ill used. 
Plastic bags and bottles pollute what should be clean, 
Turmoil for animals who live beneath this screen. 
Fish are dying in droves, no more food can they find, And wildlife must suffer as we cause them this bane. 
Oil slicks cover up their homes as if it were a game; 
Our carelessness has caused them all much pain. 
A tragedy that seems to go on without end; 
Much destruction will come before we amend! 
We need to act now or else our world won't mend –
A future of health depends on us my friend!
