Voicing for the Voiceless

It’s a cold and beautiful morning.

The sun shines in the cold weather.

The birds were pecking at their food.

It is a beautiful scenario to experience in person.

Yes, it was me. I experienced this beautiful morning while waiting for my friend.

The birds were cautious while eating food next to me, but I didn’t bother them.

But one bird fell down a few times while trying to walk a few steps to peck at food.

That caught my attention.

As I noticed keenly,

The bird’s legs got stuck between some plastic waste.

It was like small threads that locked the bird’s feet.

And that made the bird fall down while walking around for food.

I was trying to get closer to it, but the bird flew away.

You know what, the bird is going to struggle with it for a long time. 😐

This is due solely to our negligence.

The issue is not new; we have polluted the sea with plastic already.

It has always been our responsibility, but are we giving it the serious consideration it deserves?

Will those who throw trash in public places also do the same in their own homes?

I know writing this article won’t change the world, and not everyone makes this mistake.

But the people who actually do this aren’t going to read this story anyway.

Just a reminder, the world isn’t just ours.

Every species’ life in our world is just as important as your life; you are just another animal.

Let’s be responsible and let other animals live peacefully.

We are sharing this earth, not owning it.
