(based on Mary Oliver’s poem)
Why does the ocean never stop?
Why does the ice have to melt?
Why do the penguins have to suffer?
Those penguins the ones who are in endless trouble,
The penguin who slide around for the first time having fun,
The penguin who is in deep trouble like being in a extinct volcano to tall to climb out,
The penguin who is in a world full of pollution and homelessness,
Which can only change if plastic stops randomly appearing,
She wants to be a happy free penguin far a way from reality.
Tell me do you want to be away from reality?
