Carbon

Carbon footprint
Breath if you dare
Expel carbon were you are
Leaving your everlasting footprint
Carbon tells us you were here

Carbon a natural element
Safe in its natural state
Forming part of the carbon cycle
Transforms into a toxic gas
A fabric of life


Being omitted  
Forms to gas
Exposing the atmosphere
To potential dangerous unbalance
Sparking irreversible change to the enviroment

But I ask you
Is carbon pollution avoidable
We know we all extract carbon
But is industry polluting the environment
Enough to warm the earth?

Is this only part of the carbon cycle
And global warming part of
A natural cycle of the earth
or are they right
Are we slowly destroying the earth?  



Questions to which I do not know the answer!

With respect I am forced to ask, if the poem does not reflect your views why write it?

Hi Ken,

 

Good question! I guess I was questioning my veiws on carbon tax at the time I wrote it. In theory I support a carbon tax. I just don't trust mutinational companies to do the right things. So maybe the poem does reflect my veiw more than I care to admit!

 

Of course I write an poem because I can. LOL!

 

Thanks

Debbie 

Yes I agree. That is what poetry is all about. Because you can, and how good is that.
