Backyard



Do this to mean it.
To know it needed.
Clean up,
Your backyard.

See it known needed.
Before you leave it.
A cleaning up your own backyard.

People are quick to say,
Who does what and when.
As if the time to do this is a given.

Too many sit.
With their opinions.
And garbage spread to trash,
On others they don't know.
Or lives they live to have.

People will judged,
Others by looks.
Not what it takes,
Or what it took...
Just to escape away from headaches.
That most will sit,
As a hobby to inflict.
With loving everyday to do it.

People love.
And enjoy.
To gossip and nitpick.
With nothing else to do.
On their minds but this.

People are quick to say,
Who does what and when.
How they do it.
Where and why it is done.

But they can't see,
What to prioritize for them needed.
A cleaning up their own backyard.

People can't see,
What to prioritize for them needed.
A cleaning up their own backyard!
First!
A cleaning up their own backyard!
