I Just Don't Get It

I just don't get it.
Do you come to a Park to dump your cigarette
butts, to throw away empty plastic
bottles and cups?
Or do you
just drive by with your nasty habits?
Do you just have to say: *'I've been here*
today in that way?

Do you have to cast your ego around even
if there's no one to see it? Can't you cure
yourself of the garbage in your head?

The world was an Eden before you came.

I walk/run on my parkway

I walk/run on my parkway anywhere from 3 to 10 or more miles a day... I can't believe the butts... when stopped for a light or even when one could walk to a garbage can... the plastic.... How ignorant do people have to be? ~A

Anna...

it pisses me off too... folks flipping butts and drink bottles everywhere they go... I guess cleaning up behind yourself isn't taught these days... out of sight out of mind.... have a great run today Richard
