the open burning


The open burning
We can see it everyday
Dry leaves, twigs, woods
Even plastics and rubber
Together into the mix
The smelly wind blowing by
It chokes your breath
Breathing will be difficult
And who to blame?

The police will not take action
The town council will say the same thing
Call the DOE to net the culprits
But in small towns no DOE!
So the open burning thrive
The agencies turning a blind eye

Even in the rubbish dump areas
The rubbish will be burned
Now who will take action?
The Town council officers?
Since it is council dumping site
But nothing will be done
There is no patrolling unit
Catching the culprits

We can cry on open burning
The authorities will say about law and fines
But where are the enforcement unit?
Not enough personnel we hear
The civil servants ballooned to 1.6 million!
