Midway

This is a video postcard to our friends on Midway Atoll. I sing of the catastrophic effects of plastic accumulating in our oceans and bodies.

Lyrics:

A bird majestic falls out of the sky
At the edge of paradise
The edge of night
It's a look into our future

Plastic bags and bottle caps
The legions are now arrayed
Look at the death we've made
Poisoned oceans flow in our veins
It's a look into the future
Have a look into our future

There's a message in a ketchup bottle
And action figures discarded after play
What's a lighter to you
Is the end of a light that flew

That which kills the albatross
Will be visited upon us

It's the end of the Plastic Age
It's the new battle for Midway
At the end of the Plastic Age
It's the new battle for today

Another bird majestic falls out of the sky
At the edge of paradise
The edge of night
This is a look into our future
