Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

See the little white horses, dancing along
The deep patch of peace, among the city's throng
Corals line the seabed
Fish swim, resplendent in their colours, free from dread
Waves are rolling, on the surface unleashed
And however great this beauty, however great this peace
The people of above, will find a way
To blow this innocence away,
We need to start
Realise our false smarts
And keep our oceans safe from harm
