More Pollution, No Solution
Plastic bottles
Won’t be fossils
Nor will cans
Or frying pans
Too much debris
As you can see
No control
Filling holes
Growing bumps
Garbage dumps
Every day
We throw away
Broken glass
Tin and brass
Computer parts
Broken carts
Fast food bags
Dirty rags
Contributions
More pollution
Garbage piles
Stretch for miles
Rusted steel
Broken wheel
Used razors
Piles of paper
Weather vane
Window pane
Find a stash
For our trash
Plastic sack
White or black
Great earth movers
Quick maneuvers
Cover up
The broken cups
Soil laced
With plastic waste
Overflowing
Nothing growing
No solution
More pollution

I write about everything and sometimes nothing at all.I'm fascinated by old things, rusty things, abandoned places, or anywhere that a secret might be unearthed.I'm passionate about history and many of my pieces are anchored in one concept of time or another.I've always been a writer, dating back to my youth, but the last decade has been a time of growth for me.I'm continually pushing the limitations of vocabulary, syntax, and descriptive phrasing.

And there is no end in sight for it. I like this fast moving, nicely rhymed slam poetry, Ralph. Well done.
