One Small Island

One small island

Small and proud

A haven for nature

Then it was found

We used it for resources

Ignoring what was being caused.

The seals were wiped out

Then went the penguins

Then go the birds

Soon enough, so went the island

The island went down

And it’s all our fault.

It is now slowly rising

Returning to what it was before

One small island

Small and proud

A haven for nature

Standing tall

Thriving and heaving

As if it was reborn.
