Soaring over a gray, neglected ocean Not a fish or strand of seaweed in sight All my brothers and sisters, gone in a flash Iβm left to wander through the night
The only creature left on my planet A tired, but majestic gull All I can do now is sit and wonder Where did my precious Earth go?
For humans have gone extinct All fish and ocean dwellers, too All of my kind, the creatures of the sky There is only me, no more you
As the hunger slowly takes away my life And my patchy wings are flapping weak I settle down for one last breath This world is not for the meek
Now not a lonely bird, but a lonely world No longer a place of miracles But need not fear, life will emerge again Hopefully, they wonβt be as pitiful
I did a school project on ocean pollution at the end of the year, and this is one of the poems I wrote for the end product. I printed this poem onto nice paper and stuck it to a magnetic frame. I sold about 15 of these to parents!
