Something in the Water

Noticeable movement
Visible creation
What is that?
Causing me agitation

Clear waters
Lifeless as could be
Now tainted
No longer free

I’ve been infested
I’m contaminated
God why?
So agitated

Perfect crust
Clean sea
God I liked it
When it was just me

This thing moves
Let’s assess
It’s Multiplying?
What is this mess

Growth and change
More and new
I liked it better
When there was few

Trashing me
With no respect
I’m disgusting
From their neglect

Flowing green
Filled with litter
No longer still
Quakey and bitter

Missing the best days
When it was just me
I sat happily
Just my crust and sea

About the Poem:

Written from the perspective of the ocean water at the beginning of creation as new life was developing.
