The universe gave us a land
Of lush green valleys and whitened sand
By waters of turquoise and green
With silver fish to dart through the shallows.
I went to a place of sunny beaches,
Majestic churches and ruins of times gone past;
A history that reaches back through the annals of time,
Back to the very beginnings of man.
This is what I found.
Beaches littered with the flotsam of our day,
Washed clean at the water’s edge
With each wave that drags it down to the ocean’s depth
Along with the dead dog
Lying bloated on the beach.
I had to turn away
From that bleached and bloated body
Lying headless by the sea.
Have we no respect!
What is the force that causes man
To lay waste to this perfect land?
Do pristine blue waters and whitened sand
Exist only in vague memories from our past.
Beauty is all around us if only you’ll look!
So pick up your paper, your bottles and smokes.
Leave this place as you found it.
Or stay in your homes.
