Green
By Ophelia
Every day is a repeat.
Not a single new word.
Ideas reliving multiple times.
Clothes made from used up plastic.
Words rewritten into catchy new phrases.
Tire swings made in animal shapes.
Purses from juice boxes.
Necklaces made from old pop tops and bottle caps.
What happen?
All the wasted paper.
Freedom of speech.
Save the trees.
A new add. Campaign.
Decorative paper made from old scrape paper.
Pictures saved in flash drives.
Drawings created on Paint.
Color, black and white or maybe even sepia.
What about film?
Electricity is God.
PC, laptop, i anything
Vinyl, 8 track, cassette, CD.
PS3, Wii, Game Box 360.
Checkers on a park bench table top
LCD, HDTV, Streaming
Rabbit ears and CB radios.
Jaw bones, Cell phones, GPS.
Where do all the batteries go?
Life requires water.
Three dollar water in a plastic bottle.
An aluminum canister.
Reusable coffee cups with leaky lids.
Styrofoam cups that never degrade
Straws for sipping to stirring.
Water filters for filtered water.
Spring, distilled, drinking all sizes
What happen to taking a sip from the water hose?
Save the planet,
Save the Dolphins and the whales,
Recycle, reuse,
Worm dirt
Sort your garbage make compost.
Wind Mill farms.
Car exhaust from electric cars running on fossil fuel.
Cheaper to tear down then remodel.
What happen to hole in the ozone layer?
Repeat again,
Silly bands or rubber bands,
Oil leaks, natural unnatural disasters.
Melting ice caps,
Crazy weather,
Wars, famine, genocide and homicide.
Campaign promises and public disgrace
Good ol?boys and Tea parties
What happen to we the people?
Reverse step back
Reuse, do it again.
Think Green.

I've realized the importance of this the last few years. I'm doing the compost thing. Trying my hand at growing veggies this year, because I just don't know what is being sprayed on the stuff I get at the grocer. Only buy meat from local farms. I could do better at recycling. And, don't get me started on politics. Hope you are well, my friend.

Confusing is it not? So many things one can choose to think about or ignore. Humor is here. In the same way you can watch a school teacher that try to control 100 screaming and out of control kids. Out of control, hah we are never in control. I feel I gain a bit of control by accepting that as fact. Alot to take from this. Merry christmas Ophelia!
