Go Green or Go Home?

Bottles of plastic

Trash in the sea.

Gas fills the air

Fumes seek us out.

Some people care

Others do not.

This planet we inhabit

Be it dying or very much alive?

Some say, 'ban the chemicals!'

Others, 'no one's died yet!'

Are we safe?

Can we be sure?

Some people are tinged in green

These people should be respected,

but definitely not believed-

For if we were all tinged in green...

like all those protestors everywhere...

what would we do with all the plastic?

Who would eat all the beef?

We would be devoid of all greenery!

So be tinged in green if you like.

I will try to respect you

Try to see your perspective.

But in the end

I want my beef

For beef is my friend.
