To be green or not be: that is the question!

In my attempt to do a Shakespearean poetry for our science magazine, here I am posting a self-made environmental version of the William Shakespeare's famous poem "To be or not to be", but this time, it's nothing like the original version — the length, the rhyming words, the stanza, the metrics — nothing very much alike!

The poem that you will about to read did not make it in print. I decided to change the supposed poem to something more essay-ish. But luckily, I kept this poem as remembrance of how I am not-so inclined with poetry and with the environment. Hahaha... By the way, I put a picture before the poem itself to have a Zorlone-ish feeling about the poem... Nothing personal... hehehe... I hope you enjoy reading this! Hehehe...


To be green, or not to be
by Yatot

To be green, or not to be: that is the question,
Whether this environment to suffer,
The people with uncertain and dirty future,
Or take part against garbage throwers,
To have a stand is to be free!
There will be no more: stagnant water,
Dying fishes in the ocean, dead sea creatures,
Floating garbage in rivers and lakes,
Treeless mountains, black smoke.
To devout ourselves with the environment, is to be free.
To sleep peacefully with no sounding of threat,
From flash floods, landslides, or broken dreams,
Of having a green and peaceful environment.
We must give pause and think,
When we do not follow being green,
Who else to blame, to suffer? Is it only I?
Calamity comes from disrespect,
If we give respect, we receive respect,
From everyone, from the environment,
Otherwise, we are only running in circles.
