Convenient in the moment
to buy what’s sold in plastic
but no peace of mind bestowment
as dereliction drastic:
Pernicious plastic everywhere
in human, flora & fauna cells
in groceries, crops, soil & air
in oceans, lakes, streams & water wells
So kids, shall not be solved by smile
or in cute selfies implore
To be saved from a future vile
won’t work trying to ignore
Parents who do not want to change
is an intransigent force
who shall continue to derange
while say they love you of course
But as their conscience is elastic
their engagement be at best spastic
