Fantastic Plastic

Fantastic plastic
You saviour of all,
From shallow food dishes 
To bottles so tall.

Plastic utensils
Forks, spoons, and knives
How could we cope
Without you in our lives.

Never mind the oceans
With islands of bottles,
Never mind the wildlife
You choke and you throttle.

We just churn it out
At incredible speed.
Plastic is cheapest,
It appeals to our greed.

So right you are. Plastic is fantastic. Plastic as wastage can be managed just by caution n precaution. Also, research on bio-degradable plastic is on progress. The wastage problem will be solved. Plastic is an asset, just to control the wastes. Warm Wishes
