Molasses

233,000 gallons in the water
What is anyone supposed to do?
Thousands of fish are going to be slaughtered
In the pretty blue waters of Honolulu

Crabs, fish, & eels scattered across the ocean floor
Their deaths are caused by Matson Navigation
They’re saying that we can do no more
To contain the severity of this contamination

The ocean is now ugly and brown
It’s filled with the bodies of the deceased
All anyone can do is sit around
While the sharks and barracudas feast

  1. Sabrina,
    This is a knock-out poem! I heard this story on the news as I was driving home. How crazy!
