OZONE LAYER
'Smoke billows ozone layer lay bare,'
says UNEP, but does the world care?
Folks a few to hygiene rules adhere,
yet, City Halls at abusers only stare!
Whacked by too little government,
much of urban beauty bares a dent
arrogantly inflicted by focus misled,
weary tribes, slowly dying, tax-bled.
Trash bins aren't the norm or what?
Strewn everywhere bits filthy squat.
Fish smelly here, napkin stale there,
only noses covered to pass by dare.
Dump sites a metropolis entire dot,
fly mean into my visitor's coke got.
In the car booth roach at me stares,
then favour to return, time spares.
United Nations on pollution lots say,
mayors can't help but such talk slay.
Huge clean-up funds unwisely spend,
still, new tenure bids to voters send.
