The Summit of Ambition - a poem by Ivona
By Ivona, on board the Arctic Sunrise
“Never measure the height of a mountain until you reached the top. Then you will see how low it was." - Dag Hammarskjold (1905-1961), Sweden

Once upon a time
Our Oceans Campaign
Defended the Baltic
From certain despair
Creating Marine Reserves
Was top of the list
To make sure cod flourished
Living in bliss
Then there were toxics
And the “death ship”
Dumping its poisons
And losing a grip
They poisoned people
The African poor
Ignoring deaths
They wanted more
We travelled to Estonia
And blocked their toxic ship
Authorities reacted
And put an to their trip
After, in Russia
We won again
The “trawler girls”
Will be detained
The people I met here
Will always be in my heart
Where-ever I am
I will be proud
So here we are
At the end of our campaign
Celebrating successes
Hoping for more gains
Our mission does not end here
It just begins
Mother nature needs us
And we will persevere
