Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Rhyme

Paper Or Plastic

Plastic hearts, plastic smiles
plastic cars driving plastic miles
plastic forks, plastic knives
filling landfills, clogging lives
chemicals seeping
apathy deepening
while were sleeping
God is weeping
the smothered earth cries
under heavy, gray skies
time for every industrialized nation
to change for future generations
rid the world of a devastating cancer
when asked this question, 
find the right answer
paper or plastic?

For Paper or Plastic contest (Susan Burch)
Third place

Paloma Walker February 17, 2012 at 4:10 AM Beautiful poem, a good way to point out our smallest decisions have a big impact. And I agree with you, Revelation 11:18 says that God will "bring ruin to those ruinin the earth." He certainly cares about the damage being done to our beautiful home. Great write. Rhonda Johnson-Saunders February 17, 2012 at 12:51 PM Thank you, Spanish Rose! I appreciate your comments today. I've been sick. A little PS is just what the doctor order. Now if I could get inspired to write, my day will get brighter. Blessings, Rhonda
