The dump

The dump
is not a dump
for you

You’ve never
been there,
never passed through

Yet you throw
away
what you should save

And you save
the dying day

And in place
of the scavenger
or refuse maker

You hold on hard,
life taker

When if you
should
simply let go

A dump
would take away
the old

And in its place
would appear
the new

Till some other dump
took that
too.
