Lament of the Litterbugs

On my long trek to church, not just traipsing I felt utterly overwhelmed by all I'm gapesing Graffiti, trash & recycling everywhere littered Wished I could clean up till our town glittered But I worry about germs, and where to dump After I gather a bag or two into a huge lump Also this is probably somebody's job out there Still-- why don't all the litterbugs seem to care There should be way more trash & recycle bins At regular intervals, to cut down littering sins Maybe Disneyland's called "the happiest place" Since they sweep immediately without a trace Once I even dreamt I worked as their sweeper Cleaners seem to me --a humble peacekeeper Although my clean-up dream is yet unfulfilled I hope praying as I go leaves a legacy instilled
