Truth Be Told#PlanetOrPlastic

The start and finish

The sea and oceans were given as a gift,
Now there are seen as a place to dump our trash,
The bottles we have thrown have gone adrift,
Why is our reaction time to things so sluggish.

We do this to ourselves all the time,
With animals we decided to ignore all the signs,
Now they say there are more statues of lions than actual lions,
What must happen for us to take action?

When we look at clean natural water like a miracle,
When we can't swim in the streams our grandparents did before us,
When our water bodies are fully covered with bottles?
It was a gift we have now turned to Pandora's box.

The baby clouds that come out of industry pipes,
The industry's product that we throw any which way,
The thing most don't think about is taking over day by day
The days which quickly turn to seconds and the bottles are at your front step.

The land we walk on is covered with nylons,
The air is full of smoke from the bottle and nylon makers,
It poisons the earth in so many ways,
What must happen for us to take action?

When the animals can't take the toxins anymore,
When every child has an inhaler in their back pack,
When their cry for help is chocked out by the smoke?
All of this is already happening so will you act now.

The earth was once the splitting image of Helen of Troy,
Let each of us take a safe disposal mode,
Recycling can't be so stressful that we rather live in filth,
Plastic can't be so special that we pick it over our earth,
These days we owe it to ourselves to breathe fresh air.
