Dark death skirts beaches in blood red,
as coffee colored swells wash in more
carnage to the shores;
we are blindly poisoning our waters.
Toxic plumes of red tide cover the seas,
beaching whales and seals,
manatees, and fishes;
we indiscriminately **** our sea life.
The brisk breeze off the Gulf
brings the smell of rotting death
that is all around;
we are blindly killing ourselves.
Our lifeblood,
the seas and its inhabitants,
slowly slip away;
we disrespect nature.
Mother earth mourns
as we continue
to ****** its inhabitants;
we are dying.
