There upon air racks
In a frigid scene dry the cod
The racks are lean, cod few
Unregulated harvests o'er
The banks of Newfoundland
They abounded with cod
Bot too little was done, too late
Fishing villages silent, still
Today the waters are yet calm
Undisturbed, there are no cod
The fish they once ate vanished
So they cannibalized their young
Know in the heart what to do
Pillaging the water, the land
Consequences unimagined
An empty ocean, overfished
