Litter noted in the park
Bottles, cans and rags
Liquor, soda, juice and straws
Empty plastic bags.
Who leaves their butts, then walks away?
No second thoughts that matter
The filters, papers on the ground
No etiquette or manners.
“No Smoking In The Park!”
The sign clear and concise
Those who light up anyway
Are not so very nice.
Junkies, druggies, vagabonds
Hang out daily in the park
Spend their time getting high
Still there when it gets dark.
Not a place where kids can play
Cops seldom come around
A used syringe, a tourniquet
Might find one on the ground.
Park benches for the homeless
They sleep during the day
The shelters often crowded
Hard to find a place to stay.
