A Drop in The Plastic Ocean
From your plastic water bottle you take a sip of clear crisp water,
But what you fail to realize,
Is that plastic will end up in the belly of an otter.
And that immortal plastic straw
From your gourmet almond milk chocolate mocha
Will end up stuck in a sea turtle’s maw
In the infamous six-pack ring I find no appeal,
what is its purpose anyways,
Other than shutting the mouth of a seal.
Not even you are safe from this plastic terror,
Because itty bitty pieces end up within you,
Due to all that incorrigible human error.
