Plastic

Screaming, excruciating pain

Drills piercing my crust, all for others' gain

To make containers, cups, plates and toy planes

Leaves me, your protector, giver, lover, with permanent stains

Extracted on land and sea

Stop doing this to them, to me

Can’t you feel the toxins filling you, can’t you see?
You’re killing animals, plants, everything, leave it all be.

Melamine polyethylene, polyamides too

Additives and dye to make that Stanley cup blue

Polyester and polylactic acid, oh what to do?
All these make up the plastics that are so important to you

All so you can have your plastic cup you drink from

Harming the planet, me, and all the creatures that I house, including you, won’t take long
