The sea, in silent sorrow
sheds its tears
Its azure depths
now churned by mighty fears
Powerful waves, they toss and turn
Casting human beings
into the ocean's burn
For they do not belong
to the vast blue expanse
Yet the sea, with great force
returns them to land's stance
I hear the waves, in battle
fiercely fighting
No
that is the sea's final plea
its voice igniting
"Humanity, please
put down your heavy hand!
Let the sea, once more
be pure, as nature planned
Let the earth, too
reclaim its rightful grace
Free from the burdens
that you so brazenly place"
The sea, it cries out
its voice trembling with pain
For it has borne witness
to humanity's disdain
The waves, they crash and churn
a symphony of strife
Begging for the chance
to restore balance and life
Yet, time and time again
we have turned a deaf ear
Exploiting the sea's bounty
with nary a fear
We have polluted its waters
with waste and with greed
Disregarding the cries
that the sea does so plead
/
The sea, it is a mirror
reflecting our own
A testament to the damage
that we have sown
Its depths, once teeming with life
now lay in decay
As we continue to ravage
without care
day by day
/
But the sea
it refuses to give in to despair
For it knows that within us
lies a glimmer of care
It beckons us to listen
to heed its urgent call
To put down our burdens
and stand tall
/
For in the sea's embrace
we find our own salvation
A chance to restore, to heal
and find our true station
It is a guardian
a teacher
a provider so true
It yearns for the day
when we'll honor it anew
/
The waves, they crash and surge
a final desperate plea
"Humanity, please hear us
let the sea once more be free!"
They beg for our understanding
our compassion, our love
A chance to reclaim
the balance, from above
/
We must answer
the sea's anguished call
To protect its purity
to heed its need for all
For in doing so
we safeguard our own future
so dear
The sea's sorrow
it will slowly, but surely
disappear
The sea, it weeps in silence
its tears a bitter rain
But within its depths
lies the power to regain
If we but listen
and heed its desperate plea
We can restore the balance
and let the sea
once more
be free!

Postscript:
The sea's anguished cries have reverberated through our very souls, compelling us to confront the harsh realities of our own actions and their devastating impact on this vital, life-giving force of nature. The sea's message is one of both urgency and possibility, it demands that we shed our indifference, our greed, and our disregard for the natural world that sustains us. But in doing so, it also offers us a chance at redemption, a pathway towards a future where the oceans and the lands can once more thrive in harmonious splendor. Let the sea's lament be the catalyst for a global awakening, a rallying cry that inspires us to protect the very lifeblood of our world. The sea's words have been spoken – it is up to us to listen, to heed, and to act, before it is too late.
