//**Pick Paper**//

A plastic bag flying down the road A butterfly in the wind But littering the lane I walk on

Down the road I see it Being swept in the air And then falls to the ground

The plastic bag’s future Is in a landfill Where it will stay for thousands of years Without decomposing

Unless it ends in the ocean With millions of its friends Schools of plastic bags Traveling through the ocean

Killing birds and trapping fish With all the convenience of plastic

When the cashier at the market Asks you paper or plastic Think long term And choose paper
