Plastic Dreams
by Sarah Thompson
Plastic dreams, oh plastic dreams, a vision turned nightmare,
Once a symbol of progress, now a burden we must bear.
Our landfills overflow with your synthetic remains,
A haunting testament to our unsustainable chains.
Plastic dreams, oh plastic dreams, a promise unfulfilled,
Your convenience a facade, your consequences concealed.
Let us wake from this slumber, this toxic desire,
To create a world where nature's essence can inspire.
In our hands lies the power, to choose a different fate,
To abandon plastic dreams and embrace a sustainable state.
For only through conscious choices, can we break this vicious spell,
And ensure a future where our planet and poetry can dwell.
