turn your face to ocean breeze
what floats above and hides beneath
a plastic island in the sea
testament to human greed
around that junkyard in the sea

the albatross around my neck was hung

thick sea fog of history cannot hide the squawking beaks
the haunting sound of beating wings
the sceptre song the sea bird sings
