Coral reefs

Coral reefs...

These tiny beings, coral polyps,

are a blessing, for the marine life,

acting as home, to countless species. 


They provide food, and the shelter, 

supporting fish, invertebrates & algae,

adding colors, spreading biodiversity, 

in the warm & shallow waters. 


Yet, it's a fragile ecosystem, 

more prone to human interference, 

facing threats, of overfishing & pollution,

climate changes, cause death by bleaching. 


And we lament, loss of these beings,

that enliven, the ocean's floor beds,

displaying vivid colors, when we dive,

a grand design, teeming with life. 


So, let's protect precious coral reefs,

before its beauty, forever leaves,

for future generations, let us strive,

keep these treasured ecosystem alive!
