Gargantuan

 

Turbulent seas,

beneath the waves

gargantuan beings,

hidden from light,

avoiding all life.

Sitting silent,

biding their time,

Hurting nobody,

Under turbulent tides.

Leviathan sleeps.

 

Drills

disturb the peace.

Drills

damage the beast.

Awaken him

from peaceful dreams,

from soft warm sleep.

 

Angry.

He sees plastic bags

and human faeces,

nets trapping fishes,

plastic rings choking life,

coke cans floating by.

Under turbulent seas,

now frothing,

raging, angry waves.

Crashing

tearing at the beach.

 

Shoreline sands

devoured.

Water soured.

Oil flow fountains,

mixed with blood

for hundreds of miles.

The colossal beast

from a land of coral reefs,

feasts

on humankind.

Savouring

every morsel he can find.

Then sinks low beneath the waves.

Into the seabed duvet

and closes his eyes

for some peace at last.

The beast sleeps

no nets are cast.
