Litter Critters

Litter critters everywhere kill our planet dont you care? cars, plastic, paper and mush tyres, metal and fancy stuff, microplastics in our seas water life cannot flee drowns, drowns, drowns Litter critters everywhere kill our planet dont you care? tortured deaths by human glut cruelly their pain, endured plastic ring ties a birds beak poor little guy cannot eat starve, starve, starve Litter critters everywhere kill our planet why dont we care? narcissism, laziness an ego mind to all living things we are unkind predator of our selfishness suffocating the world till we die, die, die Nature has a way of forgiving rebirth starts to grow not this time will man be living animal kingdom will rule the earth clean air no plastics found litter critters no longer around breathe, breathe, breath 19th August 2020

Hello Emilia ... we are living in a precarious time with the Entitled generation along side the throw away society. There's not enough rubbish dumps to contain human wastage any more. Nature will fix it no doubt to our detriment - thanks Emilia - Lindsay

The final line in each stanza with the use of repetition and without the rhyme you use in the rest of the stanza reinforces the intensity of the truth of which you wish to relay to your reader.
