For Poets Story Tellers United Writers' Pantry #5 ~ Light at the End of the Plastic Tunnel ~ Plastic Persistence ~



Light is truth, truth is light
day after day after night
nothing is visible nothing
in sight, in darkness tight,

the mind is dark, rigid,
fearless, oblivious, frigid
or so it seems, careless of
what might be, a delight?

plastic come plastic in use
plastic is easy, plastic light,
plastic cheap, plastic refuse
No, reuse, recycle, no abuse

but a plastic tunnel ? hope
to see the end of the scope
plastic is a terror, a killer
no thriller, no ease, must go

learning comes long after
a tragic ordeal, much killing
easy time,death for others,
a tunnel of hope with light

plastic must go,its criminal.

Yes, that's the sad thing, isn't it? It seemed like such a great invention ... at first.

Plastic is a terror. We recycle as much as we can but here in rural America they make it very hard to do. And it takes concentration and commitment to avoid it.

A terror, indeed. One we must get rid of and learn from now. If not, the tragedy of our not learning from history will suffocate the world.
