Aral Sea

The following poem is based on the truth. Man is capable of destroying the environment.

Aral Sea

Sea gone

From sea to salt to dust

The dust like pilled rags

Coating our throats

And every breath a muffled mutation

And every blink a peer

Into the shores of retreat

Sea Gone

From sea to salt to dust

All for the billowy caress of cotton

All for cotton

White-gold cotton
