Water so clear now polluted by the waste of years of neglect
Still thriving with life
Sand once so white now raped by the omens of death
Baptized daily from the tide that creeps in
And endless blue horizon stretching to the end of earth now speckled with oil rigs
Erased from sight at sundown
There is beauty far past what is merely captured by the eye
For Mother Nature is like us all
Scarred by the hands of another
