Preventable Cause And Effect Poem by Ima Ryma

In early twenty twenty three,
Upon a Hawaii beach shore,
A washed ashore dead whale did be,
Necropsy done to find out more.
At sixty tons of weight a whale
Ingests enormous sums of food.
Swallowing on such massive scale,
Some harmful objects can intrude.
In this case, plastic debris stuck
In the whale's intestinal tract.
Food digestion thus ran amok,
And causing death be a sure fact.

Whales washing up on shores to die,
Plastic may be main reason why.
