Here's a poem on plastic:
"Oceans choked with plastic's grasp,
A suffocating shroud that will forever last,
Once-pristine waves now thick with waste,
A toxic legacy, an endless haste.
In landfills deep, it festers still,
A poisonous inheritance to fulfill,
Microbeads and bags, a harmful throng,
Choking life, where songbirds once belonged.
The earth cries out in anguish loud,
As plastic's deadly grip devours the crowd,
From sea turtles trapped to whales undone,
A plastic plague, forever begun.
We must awaken, we must see,
The harm we've wrought, the destiny,
Of plastic's curse, its toxic stain,
And join hands to break the plastic chain.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, we must strive,
To rid our world of plastic's deadly drive,
For a brighter dawn, where nature thrives,
And plastic's darkness no longer survives."
