Garbage, oh garbage, what a sight to see,

Littered on the streets and clogging up the sea.

It's time to wake up and take responsibility,

To reduce, reuse, and recycle with ability.

The landfill overfloweth with our waste,

Creating toxins and polluting with haste.

We must act now, with all due haste,

To protect our planet and embrace sustainable taste.

From plastic bottles to banana peels,

The garbage we create is what it reveals.

It's time to change our consumption deals,

And refuse single-use plastics, to create a better feels.

So, let's take the trash and make it last,

By composting and sorting, we'll reduce the past.

With a little effort, we'll reverse the cast,

And create a world that is built to last.

Garbage, oh garbage, you may seem like a blight,

But by working together, we'll make it right.

A cleaner, greener future is in sight,

And with every small change, we'll achieve the ideal might.
