Unrecognized Friends - Visitor's Poem

by Robert Remick
(Scottsdale, Arizona, USA)

The sea is sad with the memories
of pure crystal clear blue water
and all the thoughts of life
unwittingly led to slaughter.
Many creatures must be sad
To lose the life they've had.
The world needs what nature can give.
We can't forget all things that live.
They are far less capable than we
to protect their place on the family tree.
We may find the joke's on us.
If not careful, we'll miss the bus.
