Overfishing

I'm a fish, look at me,

I swim in the ocean and live in the sea

this is my story, of tradgedy and worry

when i lost all my friends- they have no glory

but thats not the end, it keeps happening again and again.

They were stolen away by a big white boat

a human contraption that can both sink and float

gone forever, fishes, predators and prey,

i guess there wont be dinner today

I am a penguin, look at me

I live on the ice and hunt in the sea

all the fish have gone, theres barely any left

slowly we're starving, closer to death

we are the krill, we live in the sea,

our lives have changed, we're as happy as can be

the fish are all gone, we dont have to be scared. the fish are all gone, and i dont care!

but wait whats this? theres no more food,

vegetables all gone, wow geez, thats rude!

the krill are all fighting, its a family feud

i guess we all lose

no matter what we do

Over fishing is the cause of all this

penguins, fishes and krill, all on the list

the seals are starving, and so are the birds

soon there will be no more elephant seal herds

help us, yes please,

but do beware

theres not much time left,

please show us you care

Overfishing Kills.
