to save the sea
one piece of plastic
at a time
Eco-warriors they are
honoured for looking
after the Earth
Earth in capital letters
so that you and I can
see
to save the sea
one piece of plastic
at a time
we hear from a 12 year old
who says she will build
a home for a homeless person
from the plastic
meanwhile we abuse
the sewer system
dumping in canals
and waterways
(we abduct babies too
locally almost 300 children
land up in trauma
in the year’s 6 months)
to save the sea
one piece of plastic
at a time
do you
and I
not
have the time
