Marin(e/a) Death

Sunday crowds at the Marina witnessed the tragic end. She was washed ashore dead. Strangulated to death, her struggle was evident from the deep cuts & the bulging eye balls. Her end did not come with peace. It has definitely been a struggle for no mistake of her's. Visiting her paternal's for her maternity has been a great miscalculation for this mother. She must have been one of the several ignorant one's which still have faith & trust on the terrestrial ocean grabbers. However, we have failed her as we have done to the thousand other Olive Rideley Sea-Turtles. 

Thousands every year, today it was the Marina beach which witnessed the Marine Death. The destruction & inhumane acts staged on land are getting its reviews in the form of rotten dead carcasses of marine organisms from the Ocean waters. She has warned us enough. Miles that we tread, gatherings that we organize to educate definitely aren't paying enough. The turtles are still dying. Her end signifies the beginning to a greater struggle which is to ensure that we do not perish. 

Don't empathize with the dead turtle, she is dead & can feel no pain. You & I are alive, our nerve endings are the next reception points. If a tragic end isn't your choice, act now. Unless there is a struggle, survival is not justified. Struggle now at peace, or struggle later for peace.

We apologize that we let this happen to you,

This was not my fault,
That was not my net,
I was not there on the boat,
I wasn't even aware you were coming,
I am not eating those fishes,
I am not sure why they killed you,
I am not sure why nobody is protecting you,
&, I am sure that you are not coming back.

These cannot be our words, it is not justified any more. Before she strikes back hard, let us act.

I see your pain in the death,
Your death is my loss,
My loss is personal,
Personal effort to save the rest of you,
You can trust us.
