Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

This is a picture of a real beach, but one unfortunately covered with trash.

I don’t always participate in my own challenge. I don’t know why and there is no reason I would or wouldn’t. I am here though, waiting to go to work and decided to go ahead with it. I mean if I don’t participate why should anyone else, right? I wrote a Bop poem.

Every bit helps

In the open world
Where Mother Nature
Has given us so much
It is sad
When you see
What has been done

We all need to help make a change

Taking the time
Understanding the issue
Changing our ways
They say every bit helps
But it is hard to change
When so much is already done
So much garbage has been made
Who will get rid of what remains?

We all need to help make a change

Trying to reuse what we can
Trying to cut down on the waste
Thinking about ways to change
So much has already been processed
So much is already in our world
Too much to just stop

We all need to help make a change
