A Forlorn fate that was!

Witness by a critic’s eye

A beauty once adored

Abandoned bleak onto the shore

What have they done to thee?

O’ mistress of the ocean

Thy glamorous kingdom in the deep wrecked,

Those colorful garden corals of yours turned grey,

Your magnificent haven down under shattered

Cyanide and dynamite destroyed your majestic bed

What have they done to thee?

O’ mistress of the ocean

Your serene neighborhood transformed to chaos

Your dearest family put to extinction

Not a sound of lovely siren but a shriek can now be heard

There they are, floating thru the waves cold and dead

What have they done to thee?

O' mistress of the ocean

I had witness thy agony,

It’s heartbreaking to see

The kindness of thee been exploited,

A victim of lust and greed

What have they done to thee?

O' mistress of the ocean

Dressed you with sorts of dirt

Blanketed with dark grease

Fed you with toxic wastes,

And suffocates the air you breathe

What have they done to thee?

O' mistress of the ocean

You’ve given everyone’s a bounty,

Yet they treated you harshly

You’re exquisiteness faded

Alas, your friend mankind brought you the burden!
