Polluting Beings

Pollution is humanities

Unfortunate legacy

Polluting on the land

As well as the air and sea

Pollution defines

Humanities lust for greed

Even though we possess

Alternative green energy

Even though we have

Discovered new technologies

Still we define our legacy

As polluting greedy beings

Do we lack the understanding

And the knowledge

To see clear

Do we not understand

We are the greatest threat

To our own extinction fears.

So well penned and apt. I think future archeologists will be labeling our age the plastic age.
