Plastic
It's strewn everywhere, garbage of plastic
bottles floating forever in the sea.
choking and burning, in stench so toxic
homo-sapiens ...how long will you be ?
Fishes flush out dead within plastic trash,
pouring out of pipes, into the river.
species are killed in million dollar bash,
but their lavish parties, will end never.
This burdened planet will shake us off soon.
Has it not buzzed the atom bomb alarm?
While grandeaur dreams flourish a rich tycoon,
wrapped in polythene, poor Earth on the harm.
Ocean and all air, have crossed danger line,
Yet plastic hearts...celebrate Valentine.
