The Poetry of Pollution

Polluted
that was the last time it smiled,
the last time it felt a breath of fresh air
Since we stopped caring about our actions,
Mother Earth has been polluted.

that was the last time we talked,
the last time it listened and heard me.
Ever since she came around,
My Mind has been polluted.
