Extinct Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Extinct

The copper is replaced,
In cables, by fiber.

The fiber is made of,
Partially, plastic,
Covered with plastic,
The NAP is plastic,
The box is plastic,
To open conduits,
Rotors are plastic…

I doubt that a worker,
Engineer or simple,
To the truck drivers
That work to earn bread,
Can have time or knowledge
To think of plastic!

Media and the experts
Speak; are permanent
In talking of Oxide,
Monoxide, dioxide,
And smoke in the air
Pollution, death of Earth.

What about the questions:
"What made oil? Origin? "

I, the child of Iran
(The second gas owner,
And an oil exporter,)
Think that oil is ancient
World, nature, ancestors
That died and are extinct,
When buried, compressed,
They became the crude base.

I observe that people
Concerned are about oil,
What about plastic?
Will that too be extinct?
