Flowing water

I am meant to symbolize life, purification, and hope
But all I symbolize is the broken world we live in
Once, I was beautiful and clean; now, I look deadly
Every piece you chuck in me makes me poison the people who live within
100,000 marine mammals every year die all around
What am I meant to do? Sit and watch?
I may look blue, clean and fresh, but that isn’t real; I live within the trash
Rubbish lies on my bed, poisoning all around. Take a look and help now
We don’t have much longer; soon, the world will collapse
All of you need me; I am the source of life
So why are you just leaving and letting me die?
Come help now, so we can all survive, and then we can live a happier life
