Locked To Land Poem by tyler eisner

Why must we humans be locked to land?
Air we must breathe but hold it we can
To allow us to try, to venture from home,
And take our chance at the oceans hand

Why must we humans be locked from the sea?
But still our forces won’t let them be
We cross the oceans with mighty ships,
”Land ho, land ho” we cry to thee,

But still the ocean lay to rest,
No human touch, from thy homo-sapien pest
And though we try to unlock the waves,
No gills to us, neck, cheek, or chest
