The Dolphin Cry

By Hannah

Deep within the oceans of the earth,
We swim in ever puryfing water.
Our lives are made of truth, love and peace.
No hate will enter our minds.
We live in peace,
helping those in need.
And bringing hope to those who need it.
Yet there is a race that have no peace.
They slaughter one another,
Unlike us who enjoy our lives.
And then they kill us.
Rip us apart from our families.
Pollute our only home.
What can we do?
We call to them,
But they still do not listen.
They do not hear our cries.
