'Marine Species Extinctions Feared' Poem by Sandy Fulton

A headline quote:
"Marine Species Extinctions Feared"—
"Undersea life in peril
from profiteering, "
the writer wrote.
Floating dead fish had appeared
in seas polluted sterile.
My eyes were blearing!

Again I read
that terrifying bannerline.
Undersea predation?
Or desert dying?
Warriors dead in endless wars
like fish in toxic brine,
from cold exploitation
and falsifying?

Some won't return:
Those trusting young Marines of ours,
their lonely dead brigades
beneath stones linked.

Mourn with concern
any deaths that greed devours.
Break down the barricades—
or go extinct.
