The Landlocked Sea

The landlocked sea had now been

Lamenting for long, shedding tears of

Pure exasperation, of ages of being

Unable to breath, unable to merge

With the largest of the oceans around.

It had always dreamt of coalescing with

The warm ocean water on one side,

Perhaps a bit too cold on the other.

It so wished to see itself metamorphose

Into a different shade of blue whilst it amalgamated

With yet another ocean. Yet,

All it could do was, observe itself diminishing,

Caught between the suffocating land

On all of its peripheries, falling a victim

To the hungry nations, hell-bent on

Swallowing its water for their deleterious expansion.

It had always felt really lonely, and now,

With the encompassing population

Growing all the more self-absorbed, self-serving,

All it could see was, its nearing end,

Where it would mostly end up being

A sewer dumped with concrete, with dirt,

With endless odour, suffocating it's being,

All it could see was, itself lamenting

Over the passed years, the repulsive people and

Its unfulfilled dream of exploring

The mighty oceans.
