    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.
