It won’t damage the EARTH,
or pollute the sea
it won’t psych your mind
neither poison your body
these words have power
when used properly.
Because
This poem is OZONE FRIENDLY.Words can be creative
words can sound great
we can use words to instruct
and to communicate,
these words are not destructive
violating a tree.
Because
This poem is OZONE FRIENDLY.My words take shape
they are organised
they won’t burn the EARTH’S skin
like pesticides
they’re not manufactured using CFCs.
Because
This poem is OZONE FRIENDLY.Digest these words
feel positive
don’t panic, get stressed
they’re free from additives,. . . [Full text of this article]
