The Last Ocean



(inspired by the Ross Sea documentary)

When the seas are all fished and no longer in pain
Eco systems destroyed for mans' financial gain
Gone all the places where marine life once thrived
What will be weeping when the oceans have died.?

When the last of the birds disappear from the sky
No more to be seen gliding gently on high
Just like the forests once filled with their song
What will be weeping when all that is gone?

Where jungles once sparkled and air was pristine
Spectacular beauty, untamed, clean and green
Replaced by the ugly evidence of man
Tell me, what will be weeping at his master plan?

When our beautiful world finally gives up its ghost
Conceding defeat to its unworthy host
When there are no tomorrows because we've lost the plot
What will be weeping? - the future - that's what!

  1. And because we don't seem to learn from history, our future generations will, unfortunately do the same with what they have left...
