Plastic Plants from The Essentials by Will Staler and friends

Plastic plants will never die, even when the pot runs dry.
If only I were Plasticine, then death would be a distant dream.
Everything around me crumbles to dust,
and so I think before I go to sleep, that there must
be a way for everything to stay.

Damn it all! This blood and dirt,
my heart so fragile--it gets hurt.
Everything alive is so vulnerable,
but plastic's indestructible!

If I forget to feed you, you won't love me very much,
but if you were made of plastic, every time that we touch
you'd feel the same.

A plastic world stays the same--
plastic flowers, plastic food
Impervious to wind and rain--
plastic faces, plastic moods

Plastic will never leave you,
plastic is here to stay.
Your pets and friends will turn to dust,
but plastic, buddy, you can trust!

So pump it into your bloodstream,
fill your wrinkles, lift your cheeks.
Plastic goes the extra mile
to give you a never ending smile,
so SMILE!!!!
