The Clean Up

The news around the island never showed a single politician out with their constituents, participating in the clean up campaign. Some time, turning up your cuffs and getting down on your knee, may go miles at convincing the populous of your sincerity to see a better Barbados. I had hoped to see the political vices at work, trying to make this a safe environment but, alas, I didn’t this morning

 

The Clean Up

They were out in numbers, concern citizens

Had bags, sticks with picks and most had green opinions

Environmental consciousness to clean up the country

Collecting first the garbage on the beach, at the sea

Lots of them were there but without

Expensive suits, I couldn’t detect politicians about

And I thought, if they were removing all garbage, then

No politician would be visible, when

Under their suits of deception lies a theory we can’t debunk

Politicians can’t clean up they must be cleaned up, so are they junk?
