Pernicious plastic everywhere
in human, flora & fauna cells
in groceries, crops, soil & air
in oceans, lakes, streams & water wells

Convenient in the moment
to buy what’s sold in plastic
but no peace of mind bestowment
as dereliction drastic:

Must those who don’t care to change
make up an intransigent force
who shall continue derange
while claiming they love us of course?

Won’t head off a future unlivable
by cute selfies trying to implore
Won’t kids find our sell-out forgivable
their plight we continued to ignore?

But when grown, as human conscience elastic
shall our kid’s engagement, as well, be spastic?
