Sifting Poem by DR KUSUMITA MUKHERJEE

Garbage
Who thinks about that?
Already burdened with a thousand chores

Announcement:
Separate bio-waste from the non-biodegradable.

What audacity!
Got better things to do
CAN'T and WON'T rummage through offal.

Why is it so damn hot these days?
Need AC fulltime.
Water supply is bothering again.

The bulletin petrifies me
Plastic has choked rivers
We are on the brink of disaster.

Before I drain away
Become sewage
Must act.
