Beautiful job. It captures the mindset of most of our politicians and previous presidents. Hopefully we'll realize what "green" is soon.

Excellent
A rather sad write, indeed, however, very well written. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Again, well done. -

So short but yet your poem says so much about the world today and it's nationalist facist manifestoes, it really sickens me how so few people realize or even care about our situations, how people turn a blind eye to the world

Ouch! This is so painfully true but something that I had not thought about before you mentioned it. It really opens my eyes to what is going on and what recycling really means to the economic cycle. This metaphor is so wonderfully made that I think it catches the reader by surprise and makes them go, "oh snap! She's on to something true here!". Wonderful poem, wonderful metaphor, wonderful play on words. Keep up the amazing work, and please keep posting your stuff here on allpoetry.com. I'd love to read more from you

Lordy Missy, you utilize nine words to full effect and paint and portray what others ( including me!) Spend their lives hoping to so eloquently say.
Succint, superb societal/political/human being-being human poetry.
Title is perfect too.
For a few men take us to war and the majority of men, women and children pay the price with their lives.
God bless our soldiers who serve with honour and integrity.
Kudos.

Very Very Good
So true, and you say so much with so little

I think this is very cleverly crafted, and the short one word lines, and simple words perfectly depict the disposable world that some seem hell bent on creating well written take care littlefishone
