Trail of Hope

Our trail of destruction brings this Trail of Hope:
coathangers, buckets and bits of old rope
Towering waves in the decades to come
towering with rage about what we have done -
in the middle of the 5 oceans - the camera records
islands of plastic. The size of blue whales?
No not blue whales, but green Wales
That’s what we have done

Tell the children. Get the children
to sea for themselves
yes SEA for themselves
see the sea in its grief
and help it. How can they
put right what is wrong?
Just tell them. They’ll fix it
They’re our future
They are strong

When we’re old and decrepit
when we won’t understand
our children will be our carers
and they’ll make a stand
if we show them
by these sculptures
that there’s hope for our land

Kattanga by Marie Antoinette

Kattanga the War Horse on Teignmouth seafront
Kattanga the War Horse on Teignmouth seafront

Kattanga

As I stand beside the sea
My mind begins to wander
I think of all the waste
And of all the squander

For I know that much of me
Would have been in a landfill
Instead I'm art and standing proud
Tall, free and beautiful

A war horse fighting on to keep
Our world for generations
I am standing tall to save
Land and sea full of pollution

Kattanga, it's a catchy name
So let it stand to remind
That plastlc kills like bullets fired
Total destruction left behind

Don't let a piece of plastic fall
To the ground or in the ocean
It is not fit for purpose
And makes a toxic potion

Be mindful as you think of me
Don't spoil what nature gave
Instead recycle all you can
And let the ocean create clean waves

Take Shape


Take ideas
Have a brainwave
Find rubbish
and make it
Find children
and help them
see the picture
Plastic oceans
Who did that?
Can we fix?
Show we care
Put our sculptures
on the seafront
at Teignmouth
if we dare
