Times a wasting

Time we thought more deeply about each transaction we make with our environment.

While walking in May I penned this verse along those lines.

I know that you've been busy,

by the stuff you've thrown away

There's no time for clearer thinking

in your haste

But our planet's quickly dying

and it all depends on you

So it's time to go to war on all that waste

As it's piling up around you

In your oceans, on your streets

In your food chain, all that plastic

that you taste;

So it's time for deeper thinking

and it all depends on you!

Yeah it's time go to war on all that waste

So tell kids and teach your partner

as you go about your day,

and keep it in the messages you paste

For once your grand kids have their children ...

there may be no time to fight

But they'll talk about the war we fought on waste
