I heard of a man who had a pair of shoes
Into the bin they went because of a scratch
I heard of a boy who walked a thousand miles
He was just seven …. He had no shoes.
I heard of a Lad of had a rich plate
He left it out all day, then threw it all away
I heard of a mother who woke up very late
Her children were crying because they hadn’t ate.
I heard of this Lady who wanted a lemonade
She got a glass and took a sip, and said “oh I hate that taste”
I heard of a girl who fell deep into a well
She died that day, but there’s none to blame
Except a lasting pain of Thirst
I hear of people each and everyday
Who live and practice a religion of waste
Never seeming to realise
The value in their world of give and take
If for one second
You changed your ways
Maybe we can effect a change
But start by not letting the little you have
To go to Waste!
