I’m Polythene Poem by V P Mahur

I’m polythene
I’m proud to be
The most favourite
Among the housewives
All over the world
I’m handy, cute and cheap
I’m powerful enough
To hold a lot of weight
I have freed the shoppers
Of the tension
Carrying bags to market
I’m colourful and light
But for some time
So many jealous people
Are opposing me
And forced a ban on me
At some places
I agree that I have a long life
I chock the drainage system
Fly here and there
When blows the wind fair
So what?
It is not my mistake at all
Man who made me
Never thought of this
So why others do?
Man is always like that
He is crazy of new things
Without thinking
Their bad impacts
I’m not single
All the inventions are like that
Am I more dangerous?
Than a nuclear bomb
If not why they are not banned
Am I more dangerous?
Than the polluting smoke
If not why the vehicles
And industries are not banned?
Only because they enjoy
The favour of rich
And powerful persons
And I’m more popular
Smaller ones
This is not fair I say
Man’s partiality not I
Is the worst problem
In this world
