-
I am the ocean.
-
I’m water.
-
I’m most of this planet.
-
I shaped it.
-
Every stream, every cloud, and every rain drop.
-
It all comes back to me.
-
One way or another,
-
every living thing here needs me.
-
I’m the source.
-
I’m what they crawled out of.
-
Humans? They’re no different.
-
I don’t owe them a thing.
-
I give. They take.
-
But I can always take back.
-
That’s just the way it’s always been.
-
It’s not their planet anyway.
-
Never was. Never will be.
-
But humans, they take more than their share.
-
They poison me, then they expect me to feed them.
-
Well it doesn’t work that way.
-
If humans want to exist in nature with me and off of me,
-
I suggest they listen close.
-
I’m only going to say this once.
-
If nature isn’t kept healthy, humans won’t survive.
-
Simple as that.
-
Me, I could give a damn, with or without humans.
-
I’m the ocean.
-
I covered this entire planet once.
-
And I can always cover it again.
-
That’s all I have to say.
