The Ocean Dirt

The heat is blazing underneath the earth and the ocean is polluted with plastic, mud and dirt, the sediment in the sea bed has reach the depth and the sea animals that roam the ocean floor feeds on them and vomit it on the shore.

beads and metals pin and slits, pollutes the sands and the waves washes them on the land; the ocean life is numbered and there are millions of sea doctors, organize a group from all the schools to save the earth from this blatant ocean thirst.

The morning sun raise with the color of the sky penetrating the coral reefs from the bottom of the ocean, they have been forming in the earth more than two hundred and forty million years, growing into coral reefs and forming a gigantic spectacle in the sea. 

Some of them are more than  ten thousand years old and they occupy oceans all over the world. Ocean lovers’ braves the unknown horizon to see them and the beauty that surrounds them.

The coral reefs are part of the sea and provide an important ecosystem for you and me; it protects the life underwater and protects the coastal corners. So count from one to three before you throw the garbage in the sea.

They ask you no question, and they don’t tell you how they feel, you see them coming and going in a hurry with particles of food in their mouth that cause the children to run and shout .

But their inconspicuous frame forms several lanes and a multitude of them are moving in a straight line saluting the other group on the other side. I admire those tiny little things and the wisdom that they bring, their microscopic activities underground help to feed the entire town and they live in little barrows by the sea.

They are little genius that originates from the desert; they are smartest insects on earth that builds their homes from  pure dirt. I cannot phantom how they do it and I am not imagining it, I have seen it with my very eyes how those little thing build a barrow that parachute towards the skies.

They have no metal or tools and they never go to school they don’t know how to use architecture forms but their dwelling is better than mine and they are always walking in a straight line. 

If you observe those microscopic things and study their movement and Rhythm  you will know how to build a million waterfront houses in ten days and save the ocean from the earth’s pollution.

Take a dip in the ocean and find the coral reefs, mingle with them and your spirit will be at ease.
