Garbage

The world of recycling is here to stay
You cannot dispose of your garbage today
All is recycled and all is made fresh
Paper is pulped and reused by the press
Metal is molten, turned into hot juice
Re-manufactured and given new use
Wood is recycled and this keeps the trees
For what they were meant for, the birds and the bees
The days of the land fill, that is the past
With poisonous gases seeping up fast
Re use it, re save it, resolve or be killed
Its your children's future
And their children's world
