Disposable Earth

Disposable forks
Disposable spoons 
Disposable knives

Plastic straws
Styrofoam trays
Disposable lives

We throw it all
in a place called
“away”

Away to our landfills
Away to our seas 

We won’t let the Earth
get in the way of our needs 

or our wants and our thrills,
the extra seconds it takes

to refill a water bottle,
to wash a few plates

Disposable Earth 
Oblivious to our fate,
We decided to tack on
an expiration date
