The Ocean calls

With no air to breathe,

What could life provide us?

With ignorance and rubbish,
Who could entice us?

Bones broken from a disease like arthritis-
Oh no! We are killing our habitat,
Why does it excite us?

Shaded in, aren't we the brightest? Plastic in the ocean is a true environmental crisis.

Power dynamics and heights,
Could they not avoid political fights?

The global ocean calls out:
"There is a terrible leakage from a whole lot of landfill sites."

Eighty percent of ocean plastic comes from land;

Litter litters the beaches, polluting the sand.

Biodiversity with a sour taste-
All caused by mismanaged waste.

Marine life suffers with progression,
Through entanglement and ingestion.

You can die too by eating sea food;
This is a statement with no hesitation.

Just for you to feel the sensation Of the food chain contamination.

A rhyme with no disruption:
Plastic pollution!
Are we caring about the ecosystem's destruction?

By 2050, the weight of all plastic in the sea will outweigh the total weight of all fish-

A scientific observation.

Are you ready to make a wish?

Truth or double dare:
Spread awareness and treat the ocean fair.

Care now, or nothing survives.
The choice is ours- will you help save the tides?

Poet: Vynolyn Naidoo
