The sea is empty

#The_Sea_is_empty
They said there were plenty of fishes in the sea, maybe I'm in the wrong sea. 
In this sea, fishes swims nomore, 
life has ravished them, 
choices have left them gushed into mince of unstable emotions, 
their health in deteriorating state. 

Something gigantic has left its permanent mark here, 
not only on them but the generation, 
they are yet to breed. 
Their scars festers so deep, 
haunts one mind in just one stare. 

Choices have amputated dreams
Cut short even some life, in this sea.
In this sea, plenty remains a far fetched wild dream
In this sea no hope can survive
Life has taken its fair share
Left empty shells
Shells whom silence, deafens the soul 
In this sea, the only plenty I see, is death
In this sea, life fates before my eyes
Souls are roaming, 
it's a death trap
Its survival of the fittest,
if not of the beast
In this sea nothing is plenty
