On a Saturday morning in Marina Del Rey,
A motley group of teachers took to the beach
Cleaning up trash for art
Winchell’s Styrofoam coffee cup
Taco Bell Border’s Sauce FIRE
“Help! I can’t tell where I am. It’s dark and I can hear laughing.”
Dubble Bubble in a corporate misogynist society
With Heineken Beer, Party Time, Thank you for choosing TOP tobacco products
Disney Chip the cup starts ‘em young
This is our idea of fun
But plastic rings are strangling Mae the turtle in half
Disposable plastics which never go away
Because where is away?
After World War II,
Plastics took over for Rosie the Riveter
“We Can Do It”
Women stuck back in the home
Tired of washing dishes
After working in the factories while the men were away
So depressing
Our environment in decline
Feminism a buzz word like a dime
My incomplete hanging over my head in time
Shipping water bottles to China
The bottom line
Money and greed
Why did I even go into teaching
To fill a need?
The state thinks we’re disposable
While our governor’s love child
Is exposed
Distraction from the real issues
The people have been sold.
Now it's your turn! Service learning opportunity: http://www.plasticsareforever.org/learn/youth-presentation/
