This is a poem I wrote for World Ocean day and came about when I was wondering if God created the world and man what did he think about what we had done to the Ocean.
God celebrated the ocean’s flow
filled with life even way down low
the crucible of all that followed
filled him with pride
and hope for the morrow
On the seventh day as he rested
he felt the earth was truly blessed
at first this was so
but as the years went
and the population of the world did grow
they forgot the blessing they’d been given
the earth and oceans
without thought
used just as a resource
until the life within the ocean
was choking and drowning in toxic waste
as mankind’s contempt and lack of care
created pollution everywhere
on the earth and in the air
and the ocean only filled with death
so when god finally turned back
he did not anger
he did not rage
he just pulled the plug
and ended all that ever was
except the oceans newly cleaned
so he could once more fulfil his dream
