It’s in the water it’s in the sea
It’s in the rivers and the air that we breathe
It’s at the beaches, in the sand
Between our toes on the land where we stand
Plastic people
Plastic plan
Plastic water
Plastic land
Forget the sun the earth and the sea
All cars and phones and coffee
Forget the town the surf and the breeze
You get what you see
It’s in the suburbs, on the streets
By the pathways near where we meet
It’s in the garbage and the birds
Wrapped in plastic dead and preserved
Plastic people
Plastic plan
Plastic water
Plastic land
Forget the sun the earth and the sea
All cars and phones and coffee
Forget the town the surf and the breeze
You get what you see
Forget the land the dirt and the trees
All stars and clones and trophies
Forget the trend the reef and the bees
You get what you see
Background
Plastic People is about us, plastic and the microplastic in us. We have much in common.
Both are everywhere, both are easily shaped, both are impressionable, and both are accumulating.
We live in a plastic world of our own making. Should we change?
