enforcement is weak in local councils


Some house owners
The rubbish bins they forget
They just hang it on the fences
Hoping the garbage men will collect

Some house owners
They throw rubbish on the side roads
In the rivers as they pass by to town
Thinking they don't have to pay

Some house owners
They only think of themselves
Burning rubbish in the open air
The choking smoke into homes

When it is a sunny weather
Late in the evening the fire starts
The think line of smoke in the air
The debris falling on cars and compounds

Some say they want to chase away mosquitoes
Burning the rubbish in the open air
They forget about the natural environment
The neighbours' homes smelling of smoke

It all boils down to enforcement
The town council officers will not walk around
The officers who go home after work

When they see it they pretend to forget
