'For The Love Of Plastic' Poem by Linda Winchell

Plastic this, plastic that,
Molded from chemicals' in a vat.
Forming lives' in their plastic state,
Plastic breasts' for pridefull eyes' too appreciate.

For the love of plastic is all around,
It makes up our homes,
Filling waste dumps' in cities' and towns'.

Less steel, glass, and wood, too exspensive these days.
Plastic cars' replace art, from a long forgotten way.

We make it to serve, yet now it doesn't fit,
Broken and thrown away, can't seem to rid of it!

Can't recycle it all, for other ways to be used,
It pollutes our streams and oceans,
And now is killing seas' and you!

All for the love of plastic, and those dollars' that it brings,
Little toys' for our childrens', favorite gumball machines.

We walk on by what's been tossed aside,
No art in that made, just our disposable plastic pride!
