Toxins and Curls For Contest Fragile
The universe is an enormous place
Where we can measure distance in light years
But fragility lives within that space
And is the cause of many human fears
Oceans we sail and the air that we taste
Are more fragile than the strands of spun glass
Streams and rivers run foul with toxic waste
As they threaten to destroy us en masse
But those fragilities are naught, my friend
When compared with my teenaged daughter's heart
It is either broken or on the mend
As some young Romeo tears it apart
The foul teeming seas with their toxic blobs -
The carbon emissions filling our air
Pale when compared to the soft, stifled sobs
From that fragile girl with the golden hair
