kumbaya

if only

we all had electric cars

with lithium

batteries,

and 

separated

the cans from the plastic

on Thursday.

if only

we had

used paper bags

and boxes

instead

of plastic,

saved

another whale, or smelt,

or didn't

burn an ounce

of fossil fuel

into the air.

if only

we had put

the cows down

in the field

eliminating their

polluting 

exhaust.

maybe then climate

warming

wouldn't have

occurred

causing so much mayhem.
