ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: It’s Not just mine is yours, by Veronica Marshall

LA is becoming smoggy like the 70’s,
Fresh air would be amazing,
Replant those trees that were burnt down,
Sitting on a beach with healthy animals,
No plastic bags wrapped around there necks,
Enjoying an environment,
That the problem of climate change has been fixed.
No factories chugging out coal products,
Experimenting on animals unethically,
Just resting watching the stars,
Walking around,
No gum on the ground,
No stepping on questionable trash,
Or seeing Empty burger shells all over the ground.
It’s our earth not just mine or yours,
No hate crimes,
People trying to drum up fear.
Push it on race or religion.
Instead of taking a look,
At the problem,
The cost of paradise,
Where animals are not being strangled.
Or tested unethically,
Or being hunted to extinction.
Less looking the other way,
More looking at problems,
Take out filibustering,
It’s a waste of time,
All that endless time,
Could take care of problems,
Start small reasonable,
Start now.
