A Message from Midway

A Message from Midway

A Poem by Lavery the Librettist
"

Midway Island Crisis of albatross birds

"
In the North Pacific Ocean,
On the island of Midway.
Home to a colony of albatross birds,
Numbers depleting day by day.

A diet based on plastic,
Is feeding their young and old.
But why this has been happening,
is a story left untold.

Bottle caps, brushes and lighters,
Consumed by this vulnerable species.
Carcasses adorn the golden beeches,
A harsh reality in a world overseas.

A struggle for survival,
The reality of our time.
A disregarding population,
A tale of future times.
