The False Beauty of Our Oceans
The expanse of the ocean seems quite wonderful
More fish to see, more reefs to be
But really, it’s quite dreadful
The expanse of the ocean is more than a ruse
Yet nobody believes the scientists who say
Just wait and see how much life we lose
Water’s getting warmer
The icebergs are melting
Now you’ll feel guilty, wading in the shower
And God forbid your vacation’s at stake
There’s no where to swim
In a dried up lake
There’s not much more time to save our fish
We sure love our oceans
But not enough to spare one wish
