How
richly glows the water’s breast before us, tinged with evening hues,
while facing the crimson East, well at least that is how I remember it.
My
wings flutter all day, I find myself flying over the great Caribbean
Sea. My eyes burn like a flame of fire, as they punctuate bottles and
trash, floating towards great destruction.
Waves
bring a pleasant sound as you make your way to the water; I flutter my
wings as I show a great sight of relief. But the time came, when this
feeling of relief vanished away, and danger came to us.
The
crystal clear, blue waters have become one of marine’s life greatest
dangers. I am facing myself, fighting for my life, I am trapped with no
way out, I flutter my wings, but it is impossible to spread them and fly
free.
This
brown substance unknown to me holds me back; I am covered in oil with
no way out. I see dead fish floating pass my wings, thousands of them. I
see black smoke rising from a fiery platform; the scenery isn’t the one
I remember from the day before. I can’t see the sun’s reflection in the
water, only miles of a thick black substance. Please save my home, I
want my children to see the beauty of this world, let them have a chance
to experience it.
Don’t turn our oceans black!
Don’t turn our oceans in a garbage dump!
Turn our oceans in a beautiful Paradise of endless freedom, and beauty.
