"Get The Trash Out to Bins"

"NEVER COME BACK AGAIN"

Get The Trash Out to Bins

To Never Come Back Again

"I" am authoring this poem in first person using "I". This story is not just about me. It reflects our society, and to whomever it resonates with now. "I" am happy with glee.

The news read despair,

I do not care,

But be aware!

Read your nursery rhymes,

And in time

The good girls and boys will play

To rid their home of trash,

As trash spews atop the bin

Of crash and bang sin

Of amen vs circular hearts,

Crashing into valentine hearts

Of carts of trash being dumped

In our home of life

Where we live,

And give to live,

And work.

The good boys & girls sat silent,

Watching the dumping of violence

Into trash bins of sins

As the I saw the red rose

I picked it up,

Placing the rose pedals under my nose

I carry the red rose in my hand,

As we the children walk across this land

To salute the truth

Children smile.

Moms smile.

Grandma cries & sighs

“Get your trash off my land.”

Slapping her hand in front of despair

& grief,

To release feelings of disbelief,

As the trash piles onto our home,

Of decency of true homes

On loan.

I read this poem

Of so long,

Trashy men of no morals

Or decency,

To not trash our homes.

The good girls’ and boys’ scream

Get the trash off our yard!

They then discard

The dirty trashy men

Of sin

And throw the trashy men into the bins.

To the dump rump!

    I knew I'd read this before! I liked it and didn't comment for some reason, so now I can rectify that. I like the punchy repeating sounds and reiterating the huge amount of refuse we find in our daily lives. Well written.

  • Can't get rid of the trash soon enough! Love you!

    Love how it mixes personal and collective voices—it feels raw, rhythmic, and full of righteous energy. "To the dump rump!" is such a fun, punchy end! Well done!

    Your imagery is so profound. Also, the tactile nature of the rose amid the garbage is made real through your words. EXCELLENT. I shared!
