The Plastic Jungle
The flies are disappearing
The beetles are all going.
There are few caterpillars for the birds
It’s a sterile world we’re sowing.
It took five billion years
To create this interlocking mesh.
But it only took a few thousand
For us to create this mess.
With libraries of books,
Knowledge and civilisation.
We still do not understand enough
To correct this situation.
We seem content to let them go
Without a second thought,
While cluttering the plastic jungle
With the rubbish that we’ve bought.

A very strong poem. I wish it was read by as many people as possible. It’s funny how we just celebrated the nature conservation day.
Thank you Shanyu. Yes I wish we could get the message out to more people.
You are welcome O! I guess the only reason we lack is because no body simply cares. And I guess that is a poison in itself. Either way, we can always do our part in saving Mrs.Earth!
I think you are right. Not many people really care! So I guess we have to work all the harder.
