From outer space, the Earth is blue

Our ocean teems with life.

We primates hunt the waters, too

With trawl and line and knife.

One study tracked, in the Pacific

Tunas, sharks, and whales

The distances they swim: terriffic ...

So are their market sales.

In 50 years, the catch has been

50 million tons, 

(that's seven hundred million men)

And still the tally runs.

Someday, I hope we'll see it's wrong,

Perhaps a naive wish.

The list of reasons to slow down: so long,

... and thanks for all the fish.
