Greed

It’s incredible, isn’t it?

The rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Mountains and ridges that open into valleys and plains.

Seas of grass that stretch out of view

Support the mind-bending system of life.

The eco-system.

What’s not so incredible is the torn plastic bag, caught in the reeds.

Your plastic shopping bag, floating through polluted water.

Waste products, leftover results of your wants and needs.

And you’re still ignoring it.

We know our planet needs saving

Yet we still choose money and ignorance over peace and blissfulness.
