Where Did All the People Go?
Plastic Bags and
Plastic Spoons and
Paper Plates and
Paper Cups
Filling the Pantry
Silenced Life on the Beach
Fallen Trees in the Woods
Tangled Life in the Sea
Drowning Creatures
In Filth and Sludge
Toxic Fumes
Poisonous Fluids
Hazardous Waste
Radioactive Tremors
Generating Wealth
Mangled and Crippled
Stunted and Fearful
Hungry and Lonely
Running from danger
Families Destroyed
Utopia found
When men disappear
And all that remains
Are the ones who complain.

Why Thank you Harry. This contest entry theme really spoke to me. I am so disgusted with our disposable society. Not only do we throw away everything we consume, we are blindly trashing the earth in the process. One day the world will be free again.

Thank you - I like that you can read down the poem reading only the first word and have a good idea of the meaning.
