I sit and gaze out my window Taking in the lush, green leaves The periwinkle blue sky Imagine all this beauty as trash Disgusting, rotting,toxic trash Gray concrete covered in disintegrating candy wrapper and plastic bottles How does that sound compared to the the trees outside the window? Do YOU want to end up stuck in one giant, ugly landfill? I don't think so. Get up off your video games and facebook, unplug your computer, recycle that coke bottle next to you. Go outside. Blow some bubbles, play jumprope, bounce a tennis ball, build a fort. Go enjoy and take care of the outdoors. Who knows? It could be gone before you know it.

I prefer to stay inside. The earth is so dirty, Things die there, And if I am to survive, I will not venture outside. I like my rounded edges, Perfect shapes, Light at sunset, Warmth during winter. A new world shaped perfectly to my needs, Orderly. But deep down I know it can never last, For a line will hit the edge of the paper, and inevitably end. Deep down I know that the way things die outside allows a cycle to exist. A cycle that in its eternal continuity reflects the truest kind of order. Order that existed forever and must be protected. For in my heart I know we need it to survive, To be happy, To love.
