Environment

Folder: 
Wonderful World

Take the fresh, throw it in trash

Careless gesture. Indifference.

Soon

The fresh turn into the same;

Environment crash.

Unpardonable inaction, this, "No concern"

Of the wise --

Drowning interest, sinking into deliberate

Ignorance --

It has no, unconscious letdowns.

Do the leaders understand; Take interest

to sustain? Too, busy in mere

Stock exchange--

Neglecting the real, state of affairs.

Breathe fresh, live fresh in cleanliness

Body, mind, soul and address--

Old age secure.

Choice, ours.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Waste in carelessness! Neglect fresh intelligence with eyes only on profit, forget, the danger of having to pay more in cash or kind, sometimes with their own lives or by suffering from disease.

I love this poem because it expresses emotions and thoughts which I have had for a long time. Why doesn't the government see the need for long range thinking and problem solving?

"sinking into deliberate
Ignorance --"

"Do the leaders understand; Take interest
To sustain? Too busy in mere
Stock exchange--
Neglecting the real, state of affairs."

So very VERY true. And what is even more stupid is that most of the environmental and social reforms that should go through, would do so much long term good and actually save money and time and resources. Like public transit would save the air, fuel, farmable land, energy for commuters. Organic food would save the land, air, our health. Peace and social justice would be helpful and beneficial in innumerable ways. Yes does the government and the wealthy population work towards these things? NO!
