Worldwide Pollution

Worldwide Pollution 

 

In Nigeria, in Lagos, in lands far away 

The garbage pile’s growing more and more each new day. 

 

The US is known for throwing trash in the road 

The UK comes close with a big garbage load 

 

But lands that are far are must worse than this quote 

India and Asia are at the top of the note 

 

For having no way to throw garbage away 

In Pakistan the children have nowhere to play 

 

In Egypt the pyramids were built for the kings 

Now they are outnumbered by garbage and things 

 

Qatar has a problem, Afghanistan too 

But so does the US, as if nobody knew 

 

Mexico, India, Madagascar is bad! 

What Disney does show us, it’s not, it is sad 

 

The animals live in trash along with the land 

In Haiti there’s practically nowhere to stand 

 

In Russia there are tons of bad toxins and waste 

In China the air is so thick you can taste 

 

The dirt in the air that we all need to breath 

The world is all garbage, let’s all plant a seed 

 

Let’s stop all the nonsense, the garbage, the trash 

Let’s ask man to value the earth not just cash
