2022
Pollution, pollution, it is everywhere
Pollution, pollution, no room for fresh air
Swimming thought oceans and causing disease
Pollution everywhere a killing disease
Pollution walks the ocean floor
Knocking on every creature’s door
On land doing wildlife immeasurable harm
We are all on edge and no-one is calm
The sea floor coral beauteous to behold
Is withering and shrinking beauty no longer bold
The sea creatures that call these sanctuaries home
Will soon be evicted the sea floor to roam
The earth is polluted from seabed to space
From pristine planet to solar disgrace.
