Waste Management

Its a lot to do with laziness
There's so much stuff that could
Not go into waste bins
A resource in fact thats good
There's really too much packaging
To coax that increased sale
And supermarkets are at fault
For really their sheer scale
Its awesome all this landfill
It's very very clear
Its the out of sight mentality
And there is no lasting cheer
Chemicals and substances
That in 100 years
Will still be lying
Where we've dumped them
That will fuel more tears
Our children and their children
Don't deserve this now
We have to be responsible
Be mindful show them how
Reduce the stuff we put to bin
Re-use what is around
Re-cycle compost think up ways
Of protecting Landfill ground
For this is real pollution
Of a land source
And thus we
Can use our noddles a bit more
For the sake of History
