Plastic Soup.

I discovered this piece I wrote in 2019. A lovely friend from across the pond encouraged me to publish it here.

Plastic for a plastic generation

Pollutes our oceans

The scourge of nations

Use, lose, throw gone and forgotten

Out of sight

Float away, new home

The ocean

Sharing space with bird, fish the sea

In their home invades

Creatures no longer free

Swirling around a never ending cauldron

Of plastic pollution

We all have a fault for..

Stagnant it floats

And unseen it sinks

To the depths so dark

Our world on the brink..

Overtaken by greed

The convenient world

Once used forgotten

Into the ocean hurled..

Toxic mix of ignorance floats around

More interested in ourselves

To notice we've run aground

Upon a tidal wave of pollution

A toxic soup of despair

This world I live in

Are we too busy to care?

Our beautiful world

Straining under the weight

Innocent creatures

Do we hate?

To fill up the ocean, rivers and seas

With items we've forgotten

No longer for me..

To change we must

With a passion so strong

To stop these habits

Before it's all gone...
