The Dump

I visited the dump today
For reasons unexplainable
I remember doing so
as a child
And seeing in amazement
The treasures that once
meant so much
Now tossed aside as litter
One had to travel up a road
Then down a steep ravine
Hidden far  from
the constant reminder
Of what we have become
And the secrets that even our best friends
Have never ever seen
