Turtles In Captivity

Gone those days of a plastic-free ocean 

Which I miss every day

Because for me it was my home

And every day felt like Sunday.

I miss swimming in the glistening waters with my friends 

Whose hearts have now been turned into stone

Because of the memories, they carry in their every bone.

Mr Dolphin always used to say "Hi! Mr Turtle"

As he used to pass by the coral which was purple.

In those days divers used to swim with our turtles and rub our back

But now people laugh at us which gives our heart a crack.

Entertaining people is our daily task

As swimming in the small aquarium from dawn till dusk.

Day by day we continue to sink at the bottom of the pool

And people it's kind of cool

We know that we have no way out of this aquarium

Till we are found in our pathetic dead form.
