What About The Sponge?

Age Rating: 10 to 127

  What About The Sponge?
Picture Credits:

The Whale is majestic,
The Dolphin is cute,
We want to protect them
From humans who loot.

Keeping innocent Seals
from the hunters’ cruel hands,
We each raise our voice,
And we all take a stand.

But what of the Sponge,
Who lives in the deep?
With him we wash dishes,
We mop and we sweep.

Washing cars in the driveway,
The windows and walls,
He is one of God’s creatures,
But we don’t care at all.

The hunters first take him
And crush his small head,
They keep on a’squeezin’
Until he is dead.

We cry for the Whale
And the Dolphin, so cute,
When it comes to the Sponge
We just don’t give a hoot.

This is crazy, you say,
Your point cannot win,
For the sponge has no flippers,
Or rubbery skin.

This tale has been told,
Makes us think, makes us mute,
Let’s protect all God’s creatures,
Not just those that are cute.

I think you did a great job with this topic. I love reading this type of thought provoking poetry. I'll be looking for more of your work on the PnP site.

Thanks

This was a pretty neat poem, and the message you are sending is true. People are quick to jump to the aid of cute animals, but when a not-so-cute animal is in jeopardy, no one seems to care. I guess humans are still kind of shallow when it comes to looks. Look at any movie for example. A guy is all too willing to help out some beutiful damsel in distress, but what if it was some strange looking guy instead? I don't think the hero of the movie would be so quick to risk his life then, would he?
Someone should start some sort of charity to save the sponges from their cruel fate, like they have for dolphins and whales.
Save the sponges!

This is a very true statement and a proublem that we should address before it becomes a big proublem. What would we do without Spongebob squarepants. Good write. Thanks, Anthony
