What Once Was Can Never Be Again

With both hemispheres now deep
Cleaned, by keeping from the street
Where once a naive bird tweeted
Pleating a chance to submerge
And wash himself in the warm water bath

Where he changed stable levels dearly
For roller-coaster coasting on
And missing life to meddle, clearly
With his own grounds, trade
At the cheap rate of twenty pounds

I still get a whiff of that brain death
Smoke stench wafted from
Scores of unbelieving hordes,
Who puff away their mores
With neurological fall from grace
To the truth I hope they do escape

And I beg for no more,
For me at least this coral seabed shore
Spells death where once beauty slept
Below the depths in deep uncertainty
