Garbage

Things we throw away
Once was important to us
Now reduced to this


Dumpster

It's stout and smelly
Only a short walk for me
Flies come in for meals


Truck

Big white noisy thing
Shatters the morning silence
Hoisting the dumpster


Land fill

Mountains of cast offs
All leveled by bull dozers
Gulls swarming above


Space

In an orbit cloud
Products of technology
Clutter up the sky


Morals

We all have a set
The ugly side of mankind
Dirty,dirty thoughts

Yes, this says a lot in a few short but well expressed verses.
Nicely done!

paladin,
let's be rash and talk trash together.

These are cool! I like snapshots...I like the progression, and the message behind the set - this is actually very clever, paladin.

I just wasn't sure about the last line with the repetition of 'dirty'...I feel that it could be made stronger?

Well done...
