Once there were oceans, as clear as day
Now there are oceans that mirror decay
Once there were oceans, with multitudes of blue
Now there are oceans with synthetic glue
Once we had islands, with golden sands
Now we have mountains of pots and pans
Once we had islands where turtles once lay
Now only we have landfills covered with clay
Once we had fish and giant swimming whales
Now we have nothing but fisherman's tales
Once we had mammals and reptiles that swam
But not in this sea, The sea of Evian
The plastic came fast and quickly it spread
Until nothing remained but the bones of the dead
The sea became a junkyard for mans waste
Swimming with bottles, bags, even toothpaste
Years went by, and I tell my child
About a time when the Earth was ragged and wild
About. Forests that grew and mountains that rose
About strange animals, like lions and hippos
The Rivers are now dry and the seas full of plastic
With boundaries of grassland separated by elastic
One day, maybe? When there is no man?
Life might appear? In the sea of Evian…
