The Whale In The Middle Of Nowhere

Swish! Swash! As I thrive,
The nature as my guide,
My ancestors used to say,
“It would never leave you astray"
Although their words were once truthful,
It became so very awful,
Where it once used to be my home,
It is now no more than a dreadful zone
With plastic bags drifting,
They are now left rifting,
Where unwanted cans are found,
Lying on the sand
I cannot proceed the ways things are,
If everywhere I go is filled with tar,
I am starting to feel so daft,
I don’t even know how to last
Swish! Swash! As I strive,
The nature is no longer my guide,
Now my family says,
“Please save us today!”
