Do We Really Care

Paper or plastic, cotton or elastic, bits and bobs and saws galore
are fuel for bins or rubbish tins when we don’t want them anymore.

Which does baby prefer? A soft, cotton nappy soaked in bleach for hours galore
in plastic bins with fitted lids, so we can’t smell them anymore.

Or little paper ones that fit on bums, discarded when their wee wees done
in plastic bins, so they can’t use them anymore.

Does it really matter if we all get fatter? Bags of chips with sauce galore
are fuel we need when time to feed, until our stomachs take no more.

Is the water purer from the springs at Leura? Twist and sip these droplets cold,
that flood your veins, like icy rains, and leave you feeling - wanting more.

What’s wrong with tap water for your son and daughter? Turn the tap for stores galore.
It’s always cold, with never mould, and leaves you healthy - evermore.
