Destructive Celebrations

Sad
Partly deflated celebrations
Hang limp
Too heavy to be lifted by the wind

Brightly coloured plastic
Destroying the environment
Our celebrations of joy
Wreaking destruction

Well wishes written on toxic displays
Happy birthday!
Let’s release some balloons to the sky
Ignorant of those that die
For our display
