Algaes represent an imminent threat

Red tides appearing along the coast

Toxic Karenia Brevis is its host,

Coming up from the sea beds

Leaving lots of marine life dead.

Green algae drifting along the Australian coast

El nino is taking a hold

And so Cyanobacteria becomes bold

And kills off fish and harms animals,

All Gods creatures big and small.

Both algaes can be linked to man

But man will never understand,

That the more it disturbs the balance

That nature tries so hard to maintain,

We shall see these toxic algaes

We will continue suffering acid rain

And earth will fight back in attempts to purge us,

While poisoning nature at the same time

Will we reach extinction first,

So that nature will be saved in time

But if we survive but nature dies

Then we will be living on borrowed time,

Algaes can do so much damage we must learn to read the signs

About the clear and present danger,

That travels on the tides

Causing much of the marine life to die.
