Oil, sewage, corpses, chemical effluvium, garbage, military ordnance, and even at sea superstructures like oil rigs, could disappear into the ocean, as if swallowed up by a black hole, never to be seen again
For centuries, humanity has viewed the ocean as a metaphor for infinity
The assumption was, and frankly still is for many people - that the enormity of the sea came with a limitless ability to absorb and metabolize all
This vastness is what lends the ocean deity-like potential
And more narrowly, it is also what has provided us over the years with license to dump virtually anything off shore
Oil, sewage, corpses, chemical effluvium, garbage, military ordnance, and even at sea superstructures like oil rigs, could disappear into the ocean, as if swallowed up by a black hole, never to be seen again
No matter how vast, blue and deep
There’s no infinity
We’re half asleep
But it does the job
Covering up our gigantic rubbish heap
As if swallowed up by a black hole
Just like the atmosphere filled with black coal
Our believe in limitless ability to absorb and metabolize all
That’s the ocean and humanity’s downfall
That’s the ocean and humanity’s downfall
Oil, sewage, corpses, chemical effluvium, garbage, military ordnance, and even at sea superstructures like oil rigs, could disappear into the ocean, as if swallowed up by a black hole, never to be seen again
