As The Leaves Fall, So Does Care Poem by becca hansen

A walk in the park used to
mean so much more.
Now all it does is add
to my already messy life.
Like leaves falling in the Autumn,
The wrappers fill up our streets.
Scattered debris, cluttering our lives
Like an over schedueled buisness man
waiting to retire.
Letting litter lye like lions
on the grass.
Each paper falling is one
step closer to a death
Day by day, I hear people say,
As animals lay,
What can a simple peice of plastic do?
Animals die, as we just walk bye, why
does this world kill.
Trees try to live as the trash takes away life.
We choose to loose environmental life by adding strife
to those who 'do not matter'
As we keep digging ourselves into this
hole which we can't seem to climb out of
This death is piling higher, every step,
every wrapper, as each animal suffers.
