Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Plasticity

We both grew up in time and place

When plastic be in massive use

By most all of the human race,

Leading to pollution abuse.

We two did meet in a protest

For a cleaner environment,

Became a couple feeling blessed

That lives of true love would be spent.

Then the two of us grew apart,

But stayed together for kids' sake,

Slowly breaking each other's heart,

But knowing that we now were fake.

We are a plastic couple who

Pretend the love we show is true.
