    What is the 'sadness' that the poet refers to in the poem?    

    Answer:

    The 'sadness' that the poet talks about is ceaseless activity without understanding ourselves that would eventually lead to doom. This mindless activity leads men to self-destruction. They kill whales and injure themselves by chemicals or fire. He also pleads with mankind to end environmental degradation. Such activities lead to a situation that is a mere illusion of victory but in actuality, is fatal.
