No person wants to see their lover ruined.
No person wants to see their friend destroyed.
Yet the Moon sits and watches.
yet the Ocean seethes and despises.

The Moon,
Gorgeous and wise.
A patron of femininity.
A kind soul with a strong mind.

The Ocean,
Free and always moving.
Loving and unforgiving.
A maker of hope and of fear.

The two lovers,
The two friends.
The two tormented souls.

The Ocean watches,
As men trample over
The Moon's body.
She watches
As the people prod and poke,
In the name of science.
In the name of "mankind."

The Moon watches,
As men throw their waste
Into the Ocean's body.
She watches
As the people intrude and kill
In the name of survival.
In the name of "necessity."

When will it stop?
When will we decide
That it is not time
To seperate the two lovers?
When will we choose love
Instead of hate?
