The trees choke
On poisoned air,
Our airPlants heave
Laboured coughs
On smoky fumes,
Our pollutionThe skies darken
Blue smearing
From rainbows to gray
Dark gray,
Our carbon dioxideAnimals retch and reach out
A flipper, paw, fin, wing, talon
But we refuse to save
Even those we love from those
Choking plastic bags,
Our wasteAnd finally we choke ourselves
On dead mutations' meat
Inhale ashes of our victim's
Eyes blank, to the stormy skies
Gaze looking to the future
Of pollution
