Pollution

Staten Island, NY

The Polluted ocean waves
The scorching hot sand with
Another fish leaving its home
Scales shimmering for the last time

Children gasp at what is right in front of them
that should be in the unpolluted ocean
The scales glistening for the last time
As it leaves its home forever.
