The Human Environment

The human environment is awesome.

Whenever you throw away something

Like a Marine tossing jetsam,

It means that you value a treasure over nothing.

Plastic straws wash up on the shore

Which means that people are producing.

They clog up systems which make it a chore

We should be making more, not reducing.

Nature couldn’t care less about man.

Try negotiating with a storm.

The weather will crush you like a can.

Whether it’s too cold or more than warm.

When you see a candy wrapper by the wayside,

Do not think of waste.

Think of the brains that let such a thing to reside

Amongst the foliage that was “defaced.”

Only private property can resolve this mess.

To fossil fuels, gas guzzlers, and landfills say yes.
