The ocean’s dying

~ the ocean's perspective, a little philosophy, a little me, a little of mixed up worlds, war here and there, extinction everywhere...

 

 

 

The ocean’s dying

 

Trapped in the glass

Food for your tray

I am the water that filled your thirsty soul

 

You're just a starve being who hungers for more

Can’t you see, I am slowly dying

My children is declining

Pollutant is destroying my beauty

day by day

I wonder if you care

 

I hope many of you understand

That my rage goes out of hand

That’s just how I am

Nature’s call in changes

Of the climate

and more often of what you’ve done

 

In time you’ll see how important I am

How you’ve lost a part of me

That cares for you

I am not selfish

All my blessings is free for the taking

But it is never yours alone

 

You outnumbered my children

To the point that you hunted them to extinction

 

You polluted my shores

To the point that I lost my blissful purity

 

You poisons each other's soul

To the point that I have taken the destructive consequences

 

Some things are hard to learn

But that doesn’t mean you’ll repeat the same mistakes

over and over again

as if it’s a good thing

it never was and never will be

 

I am dying, how I wish you care

…

I hear two sides to this amazing write dear Pax. There is the environmentalist in me that hears a gripping tale of how we( mankind) are ravaging our water supply ..making it dirty and undrinkable. How we waste so much of nature's gift for selfish reason. The second thing I see here dear Pax is YOU. When I read this ..I see you..standing at the edge of the shadows ...longing to walk into the light and be showered by the rains of happiness and love..of life and droplets of salvation...but you hesitate even when you know that you are dying...thirsty ...pressed for more than this trivial existence is giving...know that you are not wasting away like the oceans..you are the line where water meets land ...its seems unsteady but you are the balance that keeps it all in check you have both the thirst of the land and the dryness of the ocean. YOU ARE THE EDGE OF SERENITY> SPLENDID WRITE!

[Pax]

wow, wow, wow...
I can't believed how much you see me in this piece, I keep reading your words, can't help but admire on how you reflect on what you see in this piece... you see everything what i believed in - equilibrium - i am just in the shadows, lurking, waiting for that rain of happiness and love... hoping..

I can't thank you enough... big smiles and hugs...

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

My eyes see what they must..my lips must say as they are led to by truths...I am just their simple host. Your beautiful soul shines in this piece& your reply to my senses. I am in awe of it's aura!

I hope that some people do care.

[Pax]

I hope so too, specially those who are seated on government. thank you my friend

[jacob erin-cilberto]

not just the oceans dying...all of nature getting pushed aside by those who just want to build, build, build....technology, skyscrapers, malls...

as joni mitchell sang..."they paved paradise and put in a parking lot"

nature dies for us to have more more more.

great piece.

[Pax]

yes, yes... i think those people are erally selfish...i think all they want is gain and gain more, hunger and hunger for more power... its a sad case of greediness...

thank you mr. Jacob my friend, always!

INTERESTING CONCEPT OF THIS VERSE...PAX...SEEMS YOU'RE TOUCHING BASIS WITH A CAUSE FOR ATTENTION TO THE OCEAN AND THE WAY OF LIFE THAT INHABITS IT...AS A READER YOU FEEL THE GUILT AND THE DESPAIR IN THE LINES...AND THE END LINES SEALS THIS EVEN MORE WITH YOUR WORDS:

Some things are hard to learn
But that doesn’t mean you’ll repeat the same mistakes
over and over again
as if it’s a good thing
it never was and never will be

I am dying, how I wish you care

THAT ADDS THE FINISHING TOUCH TO THIS WRITE...I'VE NOT READ ONE OF YOURS IN A WHILE...GOOD TO READ THIS ONE...TAKE CARE...

[Pax]

good to see you my friend, thank you. I love that ending part, it's quite universal and shakes my heart that some people ignored the signs of destructive changes... sigh... I am glad you are reading my verses my friend... its is for a cause for war going on here in the middle east and fussed in zamboanga and the polluted waters of fukushima... and many more...

[Glen Yumang Manese]

YOU'RE WELCOME...ONE VOICE AT A TIME CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE...I'VE DONE A FEW IN THE BOOK: THE ONYX - VENA AMORIS....FOR THE TREE IN THE PHILIPPINES CALLED "ROOTS SINK DEEPER' AND FOR THE AFRICAN-ASIAN ELEPHANT CALLED "THROUGH THE EYES OF AN ELEPHANT" AND A FEW MORE ABOUT WORLD PEACE AND OTHER MATTERS FOR THE WORLD...WE ARE JUST AT TRIBULANT TIMES...

Artwork and poetry is amazing. This is a topic that need attention ASAP. Between the many oil spills and nuclear and human waste. Land, sea and air is being used up and abused. Some countries are trying to change. I hope we have time for the poor animals of the sea and land to survive. Thank you for the outstanding poem. You made your point.

some countries are trying but some or most are ignoring the signs, that our mother nature is slowly dying... Thank you my friend, your perpective in this kind of topic pierce through in the soul. I am grateful!
