The Reef’s Final Echo

The sea waters so blue,
The coral, so vibrant with all six colours of the rainbow,
The intricate shapes of the coral so perfectly intertwined within each other,
A rainbow of colour within the depths of the Atlantic ocean,
Schools of millions of trillions of fish swarm me like a hive of bees.
Now all the rainbow colours turned dark and gloomy,
All the coral turned into ash, due to the horrid effects of pollution,
If we just stopped, if we just took a break, none of this would have happened,
The fish, no longer relevant nor prevalent,
Now the ocean weeps for its lost colours and the silent dance of vanished fish.
