Degradation of Environment

He sat on a wooden chair
In front of him was a wooden table
On it was placed some paper
a bottle of packaged drinking water
Some disposable glasses
He had invited people attend his lecture on degradation of environment

So many people talking about it
No one doing anything...

And I am not ashamed to admit 
I am one of them.
Worst  part is I am criticising him.

I do agree that words are cheap when they are not back up with action. Nicely written piece dear poet. Thank you for sharing.

It is all rather laughable, isn't it?! Others give lectures on 'carbon imprint,' driving up in their Hummers... You know, the environment is ours to use, though not to abuse. Some will cut down trees; others will plant them... Enjoy it all! :) gw

I find it very funny - Hypocrisy when I wrote I reflected what am I doing? What is the difference between that person and me? So last para. We don't want words, but actions. Enjoy your day
