Plastic Bag

I am a plastic bag,

Thrown to the ground by a boy

Now I feel the rain

I am washed into the drain.

I float by and see some rats, on my way to the ocean

At last I am there

Floating around, happy without a care.

I am innocent and carefree, I love the ocean

I even met a friendly plastic bottle

We had a laugh and jostle.

What is that?

Oh, hello turtle

No, don’t eat me

I am a death threat you see.

I am washed up on the beach

Inside a turtle, I feel so bad

Because I killed poor Myrtle.

Don’t throw me to the ground

Put me in the bin

And the planet will win.
