Turtles

Sea turtles swim with smooth splashes, Turquoise ocean colours sparkling in flashes, Beautiful patterns printed on their shells, Other creatures are enchanted by turtle spells, Sea life is spectacular, magnificent, breath-taking, Land creatures are nonetheless shaking and quaking, We adore them all, from turtles to seals, Although the fear is no longer the eels, Humans in the word, they have no sanity, I’m looking around to see decreasing humanity, They’re polluting the lands, the seas, the air, Hardly any one of our souls tend to care, Sea turtles mistake plastic for food, now listen, This causes blockages in their digestive system, Without our sea turtles what would happen? No seagrasses, affecting marine life, that’s what’s crackin’, No marine life means no fish for land creatures, People starve, birds go extinct, plus more features, This means humans won’t live another day, Yet do we really deserve the world anyway?

I live near the ocean. As I walk, I collect careless garbage, ghostly "trashing" the sand. Clueless, careless people. Sand toys, a shoe, a ziplock bag, left behind by Ct. wealthy. Social media, show more pictures of the dying world in places. David Attenborough is worried. Watching Planet Earth should be a school science requirement. I wrote a poem about this too. We all need oceans to breathe and survive, we all need oceans to stay alive. I'm glad I came across your poem.
