Brooke - Atmosphere


Seeing is believing
But what about the invisible stuff
That industry is bequeathing
Stop. Enough.

Particle things floating in the atmosphere.
A dash of plutonium. A hint of uranium.
Little bits cause no fear
But all those little bits build up in my cranium.

Politicians say it doesn’t exist
It’s a natural phenomenon
“YOU HIPPY COMMUNIST”
Well what will you do if the marsh is gone?

How far do you need to go to further your campaign
Why does it matter when there is a hurricane?
What is so great about fame?

Brooke, age 16
