Generation Me

I was sitting by a river When trash came floating by Chased by hungry seagulls And pigeons on the fly Plastic caps were littered Along the riverside Among the many corpses Of birds that ate and died Mosquitoes swarmed upon me They drained one pint at least The gnats and flies surround me And take their time to feast The scene became so tragic A tear came to my eye I could not help but wonder Why God failed to make trash fly * * * * ©MMXVII Rico Leffanta
