A poem by Iago Vendrell

Kudos! Now it seems we have fulfilled our

Technological dreams: a bright future

Wrapped in plastic debree & drifting

Along the sea. Does our madness

See, hear, smell, feel or taste?

 

What a waste!

 

Right now, there it is…

Guess what we’ve achieved

With our lovely fast food dreams

And this ‘superior’ human decency?

Plastic sea doesn’t feel like paradise to me.
