Read the poem below carefully:

Bright stars above the quiet ocean shine,
And softly light the calm and darkened shore;
The gentle waves repeat a song divine,
That echoes far and lingers evermore.
The night grows cold beneath the silver moon,
While shadows stretch across the silent bay;
The waters sleep within a peaceful swoon,
As breezes brush the fading mist away.

But hark! A sudden thunder shakes the ground,
And raging currents crash against the stone!
No longer quiet is the sea profound,
For nature's fury claims its stormy throne.
The tempest rises with a fierce command,
And sweeps in wrath across the trembling land.

"For thirty years, Pa Nkemba had mended his palm-frond nets at dawn, listening to the gentle cadence of the river whispering ancient stories to the mangrove roots.

The young men of the village no longer learned the delicate art of woven traps; instead, they lined up along the asphalt highway seeking day-labor at the crude processing plant. As Nkemba watched his empty wooden canoe rock against the concrete jetty, he recognized that the water was not merely polluted—the very soul of their ancestral river economy was being quietly extinguished."
