Poetry: The environment
Article Toolsby Elliot Bell
The green leaf
Floats underneath
The gaseous emissions
Of industrial environmentalists
Over-priced hybrids
Better is expensive, of course
One dollar up north
Five dollars on the island
These poor little branches
Crying for liberation
All hidden by electronics
Of ignorant youth
The concrete snakes
That slither through our Mother Earth
Destroying the very grass
Whose roots give us life
Our breaths stolen
By those of our pleasures
Even now the rain has become acid
The cool burning sensation
Of indulgence
That pile up in ponds
Like the garbage that overflows
Through our veins
Clogging up the arteries of this living ecosystem
And we wonder why the constant heart-attacks?
For our Earth, one is long overdue
