Space Junk Poem by Paul Warren

3,000 tons of space junk going around the earth
Bits of metal uselessly orbiting for what it's worth
The UN wants to clean it up for all of our good
But ownership of it is the issue for cleaning as it should

With countries such as the USA having their say known
Not wanting other countries to touch their ones they own
Some of this junk falls to earth causing a problem because of it
A woman named Lottie Williams being the first person hit

So what to do you may think is a problem for us all
Maybe there will be a day when the UN will make the call
And there will be a treaty to get the junk down
There will be no problem when the junk is not around.
