Eutrophication

A Poem by Prithika
"

This haiku poem expresses the feelings of the ocean and hopefully it would inspire some people to start changing the way they live.

"
I get sucked away
Through the stench that strangles me
Straight into the depths

I turn grimy brown
Leaving me to stare at myself
And wonder what life is for

Life drains out of me
The magical blue going away
Making me to cringe
 
The cloudy acids
Burning me  , drown me in tears
I am here - helpless

Are YOU listening?
Washed in a wave of darkness
I hear myself - scream

The last spark of hope
Fades out ,watching my friends die
I become hollow

My future real slim ,
Stripped off my beauty and glow
I can only wait

Mankind never helps
Do YOU want to watch me die ?
You only ruin me

Boils cover my skin
Covering my line of view- I writhe
Green smoke rises up

Slime wraps around me
Whispering nonsense and crap
I cannot help but ...

Swallow this green gloop
Knowing that this could kill me
My foe lurks smirking

I lisp in anguish
Is it too late to escape?
Quietly I think.....

This orange substance
Chokes my insides- I'm fighting
I am not worth it

Does anyone care?
Pressing for my final breath
I shut down my eyes

Destroying my world
Makes you a plain murderer
Not too late to change!
