Usually we talk of clean environment and surroundings and what not. I too wrote about this for various competitions, but it wasn't until I wrote this one poem when I realized that this topic is really a cause of concern for the society!!
I HATE CLUTTER, I HATE DIRT!
Imagine, you wake one morning,
And filth is all you find,
The pathetic odour all around,
Walks through your nose to mind!
You walk out to the streets,
To breathe some fresh air,
And filth and dirt and clutter,
Is all you find there.
Oops! You step on a banana peel,
The shock wakes your head,
You find two people cleaning,
No, talking instead!
“Swachta abhyan, what’s that?”
“Oh! What a waste of time!”
“Making laws on cleanliness,
Is throwing a paper, too, a crime?”
Back home sitting on a chair,
You think of dirt and tidiness!
Oh! Unhygienic is our town,
And at loss of clean liveliness.
That’s when you realize,
Why Gandhi said those words,
Cleanliness and godliness,
Had some sudden sense of worth.
Picking a broom you begin,
Sweeping in and out,
And clean every bit of dirt,
Leaving no corner of doubt!
Imagine each day waking up,
To the merry birds’ chirping,
And inhaling a sweet flower instead,
Of the waste that’s lurking.
I hate clutter, I hate dirt,
Install this app in each human mind.
Because above those pretty gadgets,
A planet calling concern they’ll find!
Offer a hand to help it,
Help yourself I better say,
Make your town, city and state cleaner,
And cleaner each passing day!
