The Beach

Sand cool and gritty underfoot,
Pebbles here and there,
The odd shell peeking out,
The beach can be a wonderful place,
It its treated right.

Buried in the sand are hidden dangers,
Broken glass, plastics and cigarette butts,
Your rubbish you left behind,
Dont you care.

Needles discarded and buried in the sand,
Sand used like a toilet by dogs and humans alike,
Dirty nappies thrown down,
That's dirty,
Dont you care.

Clean up after yourselves,
Dont leave your rubbish behind,
Show you care.

Completely agree...We must also have bins and signs by the beach to encourage people to properly dispose of their trash...apparently many are careless...

Or just dont give a dam. With covid toilets at the beach are mostly closed and humans are using the beach as a toilet. I know most beaches get cleaned but things that have been buried can stay that way for ages it just get me so angry.
