Natural Struggle

Rivers, oceans
constant motions
fostering new life

Home to creatures
diverse features
not inciting strife

Never static
course erratic
changing day to day

Wielding power
minute, hour
wearing rock away

Fresh or saline
salmon, baleen
different yet the same

Shallow, dashing
deep and crashing
each finding a name

Humans, oil
trouble, toil
making deadly brew

Secret killings
toxic spillings
Arguing "not true"

Taking action
strong reaction
Tree huggers unite!

Rallied mothers
sisters, brothers
all aiding the fight

Epic battle
prods for cattle
Rebels try to quash

Rivers, oceans
strong emotions
flowing bright red-wash

Happy ending?
answer pending
God does not contrive

We can just shout
as this plays out
while we're all alive
