Seagull

There is no life 
 Here on the beaches of earth 
The sea barren 
 Fish missing 
Empty pool 
     Voices of seagulls 
Suggesting life 
Once was here 
 In full flight 
 Seagulls 
     Life 
  Death 
    There was once 
 A seagull 
     A seagull 
 Flight in the night air 
     Despair amongst humanity 
Only free are the gulls 
   The gulls 
       Gulls 
  White 
    And free by the 
       Sea
: 
   No life
