flashing lights
and fast cars.
popular football players
and cake-faces.
two-story homes
and three-car garages.
you think you are
so important,
but why don't you
try holding your breath
while counting your money
and realize that at
the end of the day,
the environment is all we have.

This is REALLY good! This deserves to be publsihed in the magazine. It's so good. Really great work the ending was great. You did a really great job  pulling me in as a reader. I love this. I totally agree with you about the environment. Many people don't care as much as they chould about taking care of the earth. The oil spill a couple years ago from that gas station was never cleaned up. They put something that was even worse than the oil into the water to make it look like the oil was cleaned up. It disgusts me. We're not going to have an ocean any more if people keep polluting the earth. It's a really scary thought.
