PLASTIC TIDE

Well these words have just become the lyrics to a song but were written as a poem, hope you enjoy my ramblings.

PLASTIC TIDE.

MOUNTAIN STREAM YOU'RE BUT A DREAM

ENCASED IN PLASTIC DOLPHIN SCREAM

A SHRINK-WRAPPED SUN IN A CELLOPHANE SKY

WATCH THE TURTLES FLOATING BY

BENEATH THE WAVES WE HIDE OUR SHAME

QUENCH A THIRST, BUT NOT IN MY NAME

PLASTIC TIDE I SEE YOU WRETCH

I HEAR YOU CRY, IT'S ALMOST TIME TO DIE

NO-ONE'S LOOKING, THROW IT DOWN

GREEN LAND NOW A COLOURED CLOWN

THE WIND WILL LIFT IT TO THE SKY

LIKE TEARDROPS FROM A BUTTERFLY

MULTI-COLOURED SPINNING BALL

THIS MODERN WORLD TO SPOIL US ALL

A WASTELAND TIP WITH NO DECAY

AND WHERE ON EARTH WILL ALL THE CHILDREN PLAY ?

PLASTIC PLAGUE WILL KILL US ALL

A SICKNESS IN A CARRY-ALL

WILL BURY US IN HUMAN WASTE

THE DUSTBIN OF THE UNIVERSE

PLASTIC TIDE I SEE YOU WRETCH
