Dirty Dishes

The world sometimes to me Seems like a kitchen sink With problem dishes piled high to the rim Clogging up the drain In the name of placing blame With no one willing to wash them Where soon enough we find We've left the crust to dry With the dirty secrets that our dishes have With no way to rinse And even if we did There still would be the lingering stench Leaving them there Year after year No one willing to roll up their sleeves And lend a helping hand To clean up the mess of man We've all made in the world's kitchen sink

Powerful imagery suggesting where we're heading with this festering lack of respect. Well done, Mike.
