Song to the Sea Turtle

Courtesty of: http://www.jenniferbranch.com/j/Paintings/16/SeaTurtleVIII.htm

All efforts to protect and rescue
Precious endangered sea life
Are being pushed aside and stunted
Causing great heartache and strife

Do not these beautiful & sentient beings
Have the right to live without torture
Being burned alive to clear 'the mess'
Created by a corporation fleeing
Their responsibility.

It makes me sick to my heart and bones
To hear of their urgent travails
How will this be answered when
Reconciliation comes;
Karma deals its fair and mighty blow
Sending back the pain in tens.

It didn't have to be this way
The price didn't have to grow so large to pay

All that is left is tears
Floating in the sea
Tears where turtles ought to be
In an unpolluted sea.
