beneath the waves, a world unknown

a place of beauty to call our own.

but man has wrote a tragic tale,

with species lost and habitats frail.

 


invaders come from lands afar,

and wreak destruction with each bar.

a menace to the ocean floor,

they spread their reach even more.

 


but can we stop this tide of change,

and heal the wounds that we exchange?

Could the answer lie within?

to shift the tide and start again.

 


for in the end, we are but guests,

in a world that we must coalesce.

with nature’s balance, we must align,

and heal the wounds that we’ve designed.
