Dump Me Not

I come here every day

To this massive shore

And to collect the needy

Henceforth, it’s my chore.

When our eyes meet

We both know we are the same

Dignity, the value in no one’s land

We have no different fate to claim

Life gives us no wages

Like they do for most of them

We sit here with humanized polyester

Some sit there with a gem.

They hold hands and pledge

To take ahead of their nation

They don’t seem to notice us

Nor the value of our education

We could do something for you too

For knowledge is all I plead

If given, even this land could be emptied

Together with this world, we lead

But to whom do all this

I can say

Except for you, who’ll listen to me?

With an effortless pay

With you they say

The earth will doom

But who really was

Who released this fume?

My word never effects

To the world with skill

After all, I’m a man who talks to trash

And a child who works in a landfill.
