Plastic-yes or no - Plastic's Paradox

In our daily lives, with rush or calm,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsxtF3rAo4

We've come to deal with plastic's charm:

A dual-edged sword, it can both harm and warm.

141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsyzf8sXCY

Its strength endures, a testament to time,

In hospitals, it's vital, almost divine,

Protecting lives, in gear, in line.

It bends, it shapes, to any form we choose,

Keeps food fresh, reduces what we lose,

In its efficiency, we cannot refuse.

It's cheap, accessible, for all to share,

Making essentials within everyone's care,

From the city's heart to the countryside's air.

But there's a cost, a dark side to unfold,

Pollution spreads, stories untold,

In oceans vast, where life once strolled.

We must be wise, with a mindful heart,

Recycle, reuse, from the very start,

Innovate for earth, play our part.

In using plastic, we've much to learn,

To wield it wisely, with respect, concern,

Lest future generations scorn.

So, yes, let's use this modern, useful thing,

But with love, with caution, let's bring,

A balance for the planet's healing spring.
