A chapter in the book Man's Great Folly

Ocean Drowning

by GregoryCody

Our world is but a reflection between the waves,
Calling out upon us from virgin blue, depths untouched
Ever stretching, landing within a tease before the shore
Answers to eternal awe swim within rolling currents ~
Naked under guesses, she requests very little


Dirt bubbles up beneath a climbing tide, while man's
Rotten toes kick up soot ~ ebony poison paints her skin
Our oceans choke on filth; our fathers stand disgraced
While we empty bloated ambitions, and instant regret,
Never noticing her tears against the splashes
Ingesting death, swimming under sewage she sinks past
Nothing but disregard as babes kneel to unsifted sands,
Grasping murky horizon, reflections lost between the waves
