Sonnet 54: The Seas

From Artic oceans to tropical seas The oceans are full teeming with all life With disregard man will do as he please Polluting and causing all of manner of strife. We cannot go on polluting the sea And plundering the oceans fish stocks at will, Oh, why is it that mankind cannot see Damaging the sea makes the whole world ill. But we still continue to over fish; And heavy shipping disrupts the whale song, We can all try and eat a different dish Or the fish stocks will not last very long. We cannot continue to trash the seas When will we learn we can’t do as we please.
