Problems Out There

By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

"We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years." "Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microoganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation." "The hole in the ozone layer has grown by over 7% in the past eighteen month period." But I've got a giant joint in my pocket, A ticket to a party, Music I like, And a tank full of gas. So I don't fucking care. How different are we?Basically I wrote this because I'm sick and tired of hearing about the world's ecological problems. They've been slammed into my brain for about eight years now, and I still have yet to be taught about a practical solution. The result: I don't fucking care any more. Can you honestly say that you do? Written November 6th, 2001 © on Nov 06 2001 01:06 AM PST   10 • 0
