Taking Care of Our Surrounding
January 2, 2019
Pungent odor permeated the air
Rubbish lay dispersed across the alley
A horrible place, more than one could bear
Intensified by vulgar graffiti
Tipped-over trash bins scattered on the ground
As leftovers are scrimmaged by rodents
The floor had turned black when it once was brown
Dirt and decay defining each moment
A figure started to empty the bins
Cleaning the place to his heart’s content
Very soon many figures could be seen
The place now emitted a fresh, new scent
If people took care of the surrounding
Life would become much more satisfying
