Plastic
The pain of us
Causing pain to the world
Death disregarded, convenience is King
Easy
***
Easy
To find and toss,
To use and mutilate
Consumption too cheap, bodies are poisoned
Toxic
***
Toxic
Nature destroyed
Is it long important?
Your future feels the impact, selfishness
Burdens
***
Burdens
Of prior greed
To fulfill promises
Unimportant in the end
Real life
***
Real life
Depends on truth,
Not ignorance by wealth
Or abundance of gold desires
