Is this littering or picturesque…?

Poem Artwork

A bottle on the shore,

Broken it would cut for sure,

Is it just a pretty picture,

Or a littered bottle waiting for an accident…

 

Even with a note,

It is trash in the sea,

A lot of years ago,

Most did not then care,

Now when trash is dropped,

We need to at the perpetrator, at least, stare…

 

If they can’t find a trash can,

Then make Mom Nature proud,

Pick it up, trash it right,

Do what you know is right for all man…

Yes, you are so right, while at my granddaughters school today I was pleased to see that before their luch hour outside break was over the teacher passed out garbage bags and the kids picked up all the litter blowing about in the wind....what a great lesson for the future...
