    Awareness By Sylvia Stults

    Broken bottles and charred pieces of glass Wadded up newspapers tossed on the grass Pouring of concrete and tearing out trees This is the environment that surrounds me?

    Poisons and insecticides sprayed on our food Oceans filling with thick oil crude All sea life destined to a slow awful doom These are the things we are to consume?

    Mills pumping out iron expelling yellow fumes Airlines emitting caustic gases from fuels Weapons of destruction tested at desolate sites And this is the air that's to sustain life?

    There has to be something that someone can do Like raise the awareness to those around you That if we don't heed the problem at hand It's your life that's at stake, the destruction of man.
