Happy New Year: A Destructive Delight

It's Time to Reject Anthropocentrism & Embrace Ecocentrism!

By AZPublished 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

Ignorance of man,

Making havoc in the land,

Firecrackers blaring loud,

Polluting air, making birds so proud.

Creating fear in animals and birds,

Human beings, not giving a word,

Welcoming the new year with cheer,

Leaving behind the pollution and fear.

    I preach for nature and the environment every day. 2 people care and 1000 do not. It is a fight. But we keep trying, Great job.

  • Definitely something to consider concerning the impact on the environment.

    Hello. First day and taking no prisoners. Excellent work. As a bird and animal lover I detest fireworks and couldn’t agree more. Welcome to Vocal
