The Killing Sounds Poem by Ima Ryma

What's causing self beaching of whales?
Inquiring minds do want to know.
There are more and more such sad tales
Of whales onto beach sands do go.
Many researchers believe that
New and strange underwater sound
Within the ocean habitat
Causes the whales to go aground.
Maybe confusion, maybe fright,
And whales lose navigation sense,
Swimming directions not right,
Often with deadly consequence.

Most such sounds do be human made,
And increasingly do pervade.
