Our plastic sea

My favourite place is the ocean

A body of water which is always in motion

Lately the ocean has not been the same,

Us humans are the ones to blame

Here is a whale as happy can be,

Next it’s blown up by TNT

Straws in noses, plastic in throats,

Oil is leaked from rusty boats

Friendly fish are trapped in nets,

If we keep doing this there’ll be none left

Hooks in the necks of playful sea birds,

Their majestic voices are really not heard

Colourful reefs begin to turn white,

The bleached coral is not a pretty sight

The water is warming the ice is melting,

People are trying but no one is helping

Friendly otters playing in kelp,

Now they are crying, yelling for help

So save our oceans before it’s too late

What we do now depends on its fate
