What do you think this poem is about?

Asian Cyanide Fishing

“symptoms eyes white
skin seared fish dead
in two or three days”

coral dead from cyanide
industry fishing suicide
Indonesian fish genocide

global curbside ringside
stupidity fisheries riptide
resource fish stocks died

depleted
shanghaied
worldwide

welcome event
horizon dead
empty saline seas


(Quotation from the poem ‘World Fish Extinction Crisis’ by Terence George Craddock )
