Kill The Ocean

We were a dying race.

They have tainted our world and destroyed our people. Every year our numbers dwindle, and I can only fear for the others elsewhere in the ocean, for soon, I worry our species will fade into oblivion.

My father tells me of a time long before his own when hundreds of children were born per year. When sickness did not encompass all who did not die before birth. When our population was as great as those above and we were free to swim for hours without fear, without the risking of our welfare and of our lives being cut short by having the breath stolen from our lungs.

I often find myself yearning for those times, wondering what life would be like if those on land had left the sea alone. But I must push aside these trivial fantasies, for dreaming will not make life any easier. They cannot constitute for the struggles we have endured, and those we will continue to suffer until we are no more.

For no matter how much we try to mask this offensive reality, we all know the bitter truth. Soon everything and everyone will be gone.
