We cast our lines
Ten years back, we had few trees
A great place to fish, the ocean breeze
But nature's course began to shift
And a tale of woe began to lift
Bio Vanishing Island, a paradise serene
Once thriving with life, now a fading dream
The trees, once proud, stood tall and grand
But slowly dwindled, like sand through our hand
Under the azure sky, we cast our lines
With hopes of abundance, bountiful finds
But the fish grew scarce, their numbers declined
Leaving us pondering, a world unkind
Oh, how we yearn for those vibrant days
When lush greenery danced in sun's rays
Now, a barren land, with sorrow we grieve
As the island's life, it begins to leave
What caused this change, this fragile demise?
Human hands, their actions unwise
Pollution and greed, a destructive tide
Leaving our paradise, forever denied
But let us not despair, for hope remains
In our hearts we hold, nature's gentle reins
Together we'll rise, with love and care
To restore this island, this land so rare
Let's plant trees anew, with hands held tight
Revive the ocean, bring back its might
For Bio Vanishing Island, once more to thrive
And ensure its beauty will forever survive.
