Life Pollution

Environmental poem.

Light pollution is life pollution and
humankind has left its scar

Burnt orange clouds made of trash
leaving you breathless
With complete man-made, artificial
beauty replacing the deep blue
sparkle of space

Pain-filled waters plead for pity from
the Texas-sized mass of plastic
Convenience pardoning us from
guilt, while the mysterious matter
muddles waters once so unsoiled

Never will skies be the same
Never will rolling hills recover from
the tar scraped across their skin
Never will inhabitants cease to
expire from impact
But at least your car was not too damaged.
