RUBBISH BIN

RUBBISH BIN

RUBBISH BIN

Not a place where you find
Dirt and saw dust

But pains
And stretch marks
Lining the life of mother.
When tomorrow it rains and you run for cover
Under her gentle arms
Brother,  remember
Like our father your story
Lies in the rubbish bin.

RUBBISH BIN

Not a place where you find
Dirt and saw dust

But pains
And stretch marks
Lining the life of mother.
When tomorrow it rains and you run for cover
Under her gentle arms
Brother,  remember
Like our father your story
Lies in the rubbish bin.
