~cua cua
crabby
crustaceans parade
from highly salted
& pressurised mid-seas ..
inspired from the so
recent news …simmering
in bloodied human hunger..
towards
namesake summoned peace
treaties of the tricky capital..
wearing their trending
military-labelled terrorism ..
enroute the trading roguish
& pirating- the deadly silent Atlantic..
they had sumptuously drunk in their
quizzically coloured beverage.. that’s
ubiquitously smothering the seas
in nacreous rainbow
spills- those unsustainably
grown illegal palm oils
shipped against the trade
winds & whatnots..
they had abominably ballooned
almost tripled their sizes..
marching
in an M23 style.. these guerrilla
troops are in the annexing
of terrains in slyly shut
concrete jungles smelling foxy
with the scheming humans..
camouflaged in comradely facelifts
of Nori seaweeds & barbecue.. the
lopsided cosmetic soldiers fell easy
as preys to those binging
mouths of plastic robotic
times..
fired & fried to their brittle breakdown
as mere crisp & crunchy bites of destiny
in red rouges of addictive seasonings
over their swollen corpses.. these so
snacky delights of a launch.. happens
this midnight
the serial funeral.. of this
cereal crab army.. goes on
until the heartland greens
& uncompromisingly organic
soul seas.. are buried
as dimples over golden
dunes.. the ruthless
capitalistic deserts

Dear Uma,
This is a beautiful ode to the oceans and the sea life, plastic is very dangerous for many animals. I once saw a devastating series of pictures which I couldnt erase from my minds eye. We have already killed most animals and now we will kill the sea! It is our responsibility, animal rights are still rights that people take care of....TOO little.
We consume too eagerly without reflection, I really liked the powerful tone of this write. Love and blessings,
Riannexx

A magnificent piece that brings your heart and mind together for this intriguing poem. Well said Uma.

I could feel the seething between the lines, Uma. The undulations of authoritarianism and garish ballism of the patriarchy destroying all that's natural around us: Oceans, forests, all that holds beauty to us. And for what? Power and greed.
