All the Stuff

The magnificent swan, a symbol of love and of loyalty. Juxta- posed against its own nest built of weeds, old plastic bags, plastic bottles and discarded diapers. The splendor of the natural Earth: man's bottomless-well of inspiration is being destroyed daily: polluted and poisoned because we want more stuff we can throw away at the expense of the stuff we’ve always treasured. While, the swan recycles. What are we doing? 06/17/15 Entry for Contest: Stuff Hosted by: Thomas Martin
