A shark swims deep in the ocean,
and I would stare.
A child runs through the fields,
and I would stare.
A bird flies through the sky,
and I would stare.
A tree grows from a shoot,
and I would stare.
A dolphin jumps into the air,
and I would stare.
A factory makes new technology,
and I would stare.
A person eats chips on the beach,
and I would stare.

As the shark's fins are cut off,
and it is left to die in the ocean.
As the child runs and trips,
and then starts to cry.
As the bird is shot down,
just for sport and fun.
As the tree is chopped down,
and nature continues to die.
As the dolphin gets caught,
in a fishing net.
As the factory continues to work,
and pollute the air.
As the person finishes the chips,
and litters the ground.

And I?
I would just stare.
Because I am only one person,
who is unable to change the world.
For the world isn't perfect,
and can never really be.
This is just something I wrote in English class. About perfection and being observant... I guess. We had to write about something. I felt bored and wanted to write something emotional ish... and this is what I came up with.
