CONSIDERATION FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT, WHY BOTHER, NOT MY CONCERN….
The ills of society I’ve noticed it’s aplenty People are selfish and not considerate They just live life on a rampage With not a bother or a thought Did you not notice that?
Look at what’s happening to our country Water use to glory (Malaysia is tops in Asia for this) Electricity wastage without feeling guilty Because, I can afford to pay the utility.
Rubbish thrown out the window Garbage clogging the drains and rivers Lots of usage, lots more garbage Don’t they ponder and bother? How are we going to manage so much waste?
Toilets are dirty and with bad odour Rubbish dropped on the floor, not my problem anymore Hey! That’s the job of the cleaners Such is the mentality of our people today
Trees are cut, hills are plundered Come the rain, we get disastrous floods from mud Lives are lost and disrupted Lots of news and also anger From the coverage in our media.
When it stops raining, taps are dried up Again causing public furor Finger pointing to find the cause Or is this another God-given wrath? Nobody seems to learn from past distraughts.
Haze returns yearly like a season Causing discomfort and health disruption More cars on the road, car-pool is not in fashion Open burning is just frowned upon No solid action to halt the problem.
This is my Malaysia With citizens that are not bothered Let the future be I won’t be around to see So why should I need to be considerate?
