A Cleaner Planet

Think for a dad-bloomin' minute, if you will, About a world totally free of our trash There would no longer be need for a landfill. This earth, I say, could replenish in a flash If we all were not so blasted arrogant, Wasteful and silly with our almighty cash. Entitlement makes selfishly confident Strewing literally tons of litter out-- We must not be so thoughtless and ignorant. The oceans will send up a glorious shout All the creatures will be happier and bright The world will be much cleaner without a doubt. And, the earth will soon be a beautiful sight Without our dirty stinking garbage to fight. Written on February 14, 2021 For D. W. Rodgers Contest "While the Earth Gently Moans"
