Pop cans, bottle caps
Broken, shattered glass
Litter scattered everywhere
You glance, look or pass.

Chip bags, chocolate wraps
Blow trapped in the wind
Half eaten sandwhiches
Lay ruined, bluemold finned.

Bubblegum, candy wraps
Tim Horton's mugs and more
Newspapers, magazines
A barren apple core.

Look at where we're living
Within a Garbage Can
We've lost all sensibility
When caring for our land.

Disease is spreading rapidly
Much of it our fault
Cleanliness has turned to drudge
We must bring this to a halt.

Living in a garbage can
Is no great place to live
Disease and grime and filthiness
Is to others what you give.

I moved this to Open8 from Philosophy as it is a poem.
