Slow Burn

10.

Trapped in fishing nets, 

Tangled in wire and desperation. 

Lungs fill with the same water needed to live.

Please help.

9.

The water is changing on them,

Their small habitat slowly crushed them.

8.

We are the cause.

It’s all our fault.

7.

They take photos of slow suffering.

6.

Just save the hurt now.

5.

The end is near.

4.

We dismiss.

3.

Weak.

2.

Can’t Save.

1.

Goodbye World.
