Dawn
Sitting at the top pf the stairs leading to the lake below, looking down at the sky his feet, his fingers wove a epic on paper. Inspired by the fluffy tufts of cotton like clouds in the clear water was he writing about the soul of his beloved?
Perhaps he was writing about the struggles of his mind, as he tried to survive another night without his lady love beside him. Or maybe it was a timid poet expressing his undying love for his lady because he was tongue tied when he laid eyes on her. Whatever he was writing, sadly his words failed to mirror the poignancy of his soul. Words did not come to his aid at his moment of emotional eruption. Frustrated he ripped the pages apart and flung them in disgust, letting the water cabbage deal with the conflict in his heart.
The fishes came upon those lofty words and knew not what they meant. It was plain that another forlorn human was here, who left his trash behind because he could no longer bear to carry the weight of his world on his own shoulders.
P.s. Though this was written with sarcasm , it seems humans never learn to drop their unwanted trash in the trashcans kept just for this purpose everywhere. I constantly find water bottles and paper bags wherever I go. Our lakes are dying not just because of the heat, but because of our carelessness of humans and their terrible habits. They are becoming rubbish heaps.

I’m very angry when I see something like that. I don’t understand how people can do this.
Honestly, that is how I felt too.
Yes it does bother me to see this happening all over the world Dawn.
What a sad state of affairs, why do people have to been so lazy I wonder.
That’s so sad. I usually blame it on the overflowing trash cans and the wind, but I have seen people who just don’t care and litter too.
Ellie, but the trash cans here are cleaned out regularly and are designed in a way trash won’t fly out. besides it is not even windy here at this time of year.
It’s very upsetting that people are provided with all this convenience and they still litter.
It is indeed Ellie, The other day at the park I saw young lady holding a placard which said litter free zone and walking around.
We are not much better here as well ….. in all possible places they dump all possible things …. even the high penalties do not stop them
Hmm.. People need to be made to do community work that involves cleaning, maybe that would help.
