After the Christmas and New year everyone is out of sync with the collections services in their area. Where ever I drive around, I keep seeing piles of rubbish bags waiting to be collected

#328 Rubbish lying on the street
Rubbish lying in the street
all that is left after the festivities
are rubbish bags lying in the street
some black some green some orange
who can be bothered to recycle
when it all ends up the same
we have lost touch with our services
we keep putting them out
in anticipation that one day we will get it right
as we sleep the foxes have a field day
playing investigating what we have left behind
days and weeks with rubbish on the street
so now we know what the streets are paved with
it certainly isn’t gold, never was
for those who come to fulfill dreams
of a cold country that specialises in being mean
with black cabs that don’t stop
and buses that drive on by
what kind of service?
are we not worth it
no consideration for those who do not look the same
the ones we can blame for the mess we are in
as we all go on the dole
and we all line up and claim
for a government which does not get blamed
we are the ones who have failed
somehow we all failed the same
caught up with boxes and apps
that take us away
to virtual world where the streets are clean
other than the bodies lying bleeding on the screens
is this not a scene we have seen before ?
we are immune to hopes and dreams
laying on the ground
and the homeless in the doorways
of every shop, there to remind us
that we are the ones on top
how grateful we should be
as that is not me
lying in the road like rubbish
some green some orange some black
