Going Green

I wrote this for a gifted program competition at my school, and I was very happy with it. hope you enjoy!

 

A trendy new pop culture on the horizon

Obsession, recession, confession

Reduce, recycle, reuse

Hippie is the new chic

Bags with eco friendly sayings

Green is the new black

Shipped thousands of miles

Sold to girls

Who nonchalantly throw their

Aluminum pop can in the garbage

Without another thought

Worried mothers

Lounging in their thirsty SUV’s

Complain on their pricey cell phones

That their sons are sent off to fight the oil war

Solar, Wind, Ethanol

Alternative fuels are not good enough

For such a powerful nation

America, the not-so-beautiful

Oxygen will soon be the hottest commodity

But we are not concerned

As long as we have our expensive unnecessary

Now Now Now

Going green

A saving grace or an empty promise?

You young lady have great insight and a big heart... a very impressive and well thought out rant... Very impressive. I can see why you are in the gifted program.

I'm very happy with it as well. You have definetly put your finger on the pulse of what is wrong. Kudos and well written. Hope you do (or did) well in the competition.
