Floating in the air we breathe <br />Unseen but there for sure <br />A cocktail full of chemicals <br />To kill before they cure <br /> <br />We help the mix with aerosols <br />To freshen, shine and paint <br />And wonder why we feel so ill <br />Or just a little faint <br /> <br />The residue from things we make <br />From factories flow to rivers <br />Diluted in our reservoirs <br />To pass through all our livers <br /> <br />Our bodies act like filters <br />Slowly filling up with waste <br />It’s even in the food we eat <br />Put there to suit our taste <br /> <br />Before we had these things today <br />We had much less pollution <br />So if we banned them all right now <br />Could that be our solution? <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/5-pollution-solution/
