Mr Walrus rocked up on the beach today
People flocked to see him and said ‘hey’,
The walrus with his tusks and his moustache
Looked at them and seemed to be glad at last,
Exhausted from his long journey he was a message
About what is actually wrong with our planet,
His habitat was disappearing really fast
And the time was slipping by and the chance may pass,
To turn things around and halt climate change
Putting creatures like Mr. Walrus at risk each day,
So much less food and severely lacking space
He and his colony will soon fade away,
Extinction in the future is the way for them
But after that it will be the same for humans,
In his eyes I saw the plea and understood why he was here
He was making a statement but he had no voice
He was trying to send a message with no other choice,
He wanted people to see what they would lose
And his presence here was the absolute truth,
And we need to see this as a sign and finally choose
That it is time to decide just what mankind is going to do.
