Who will clean the wastes of the society and the individuals?

Metaphor: The Garbage collector

© Nov, 2009 Dr.P.Elayaraja

Every individual dumps into his society,

The garbage of his opinions and sentiments.

They accumulate in the communities,

As a decomposing waste.

They spread the disease of ignorance,

Impairing integrity and the individuals’ taste.

We need some garbage collectors,

Who can scavenge on the rubbish,

The society needs some idea selectors,

To make come true our holy wish.

    the Biggest Garbage is gossip and it seems everyone collects that!

    Very heavy! It can be used to run a rally over those “BIG” people in the society, who can be compared to rubbish..

    Very nice

    The illustrations were an excellent touch. I wonder when we will learn free speech doesn’t mean we need to say everything.
