A place, a dwelling where life resided in harmony,
Fragrant flowers and chirping birds lived in symphony.
Colorful corals and the life splattered blue waters,
It was a happy home to innumerable living creatures.
A species named human introduced a visitor called pollution,
An uninvited guest caused problems without giving any solution.
He contaminated the place with broken bottles and plastic bags,
Tearing down trees, ripping out plants, filling places with rags.
Once happily lived life wanted help and started crying,
But its excruciating pain was not heard, and it started dying.
Let us all join hands to help, before this visitor pushes life out,
They say life will find another abode, but I strongly doubt.
