Fifteen Million Plastic Bags, 4º A reflexiona con la poesía

Los alumnos de 4º A han trabajado, junto a su profesora, Helena Peñalver, este inquietante poema de Adrian Mitchell:

Fifteen Million Plastic Bags

I was walking in a government warehouse

Where the daylight never goes.

I saw fifteen million plastic bags

Hanging in a thousand rows.

Five million bags were six feet long

Five million bags were five foot five

Five million were stamped with Mickey Mouse

And they came in a smaller size.

Were they for guns or uniforms

Or a kinky kind of party game?

Then I saw each bag had a number

And every bag bore a name.

And five million bags were six feet long

Five million bags were five foot five

Five million were stamped with Mickey Mouse

And they came in a smaller size.

So I’ve taken my bag from the hanger

And I’ve pulled it over my head

And I’ll wait for the priest to zip it

So the radiation won’t spread.

Now five million bags are six feet long

Five million bags were five foot five

Five million were stamped with Mickey Mouse

And they came in a smaller size.

Adrian Mitchell
