Waste has worsened widespread. 
                                     World's oceans polluted. 
                                    Wonder throwaway mind 
                                      Wadded to poor beings 
                                 Wreckage of planes and trains 
                                  Wastage slash-and-burn seas 
                                   Worldbank work tackle trash

Thanks, My friend David, I know this subject is a little meticulous, but it has to be taken care of; thanks for your support wish you a great evening.

The tragedy of it all is that pollution is so avoidable. A great first step is electing leaders who care about and take protecting our world seriously. A very fine pleiades W poem, Lasaad. Best wishes for the contest, my friend.

These days I dare not follow documentaries because they make me mad. So many fish die because of plastic objects, broken glass etc. Important poem. Should get top place.

That's true dear Victor, but, I think we should keep looking for those documentaries, at least to get alerted ahead of time in case of a huge hurricane or any natural disaster

Excellent submission to Kim's contest. It is also one of the world's greatest problems, as you well know, Lasaad. Thanks for highlighting it.

The situation has got a lot worse and things only last a short time and you have to replace them, mankind has become the throwaway society and treats the earth like a thrash can. Well written Lasaad and good luck. Tom
