Dumping waste on others

MAlaysia has every right
To tell the British Isles
To realise the rubbish
That they sent there
All those miles
In such huge containers
Is coming back and they
Feeling high and mighty
Now will have to pay

We dont want your
Plastic rubbish
Ofcourse we have our own
We are not a dumping ground
Subordinately sown
Vast amounts of toxic waste
Dragged out of your bowel
Look after your own dear friends
We’ve thrown in the towel

Such an imposition
Shipping it all this way
Slovenliness and upheavel
And total disarray
China closed its doors to you
And now you think you can
Embroil us in your tangle
NO Britain we ban

Our air is important
Our water is too
Our people are precious to us
So what you can do
Is minimize your wastage
And, let it all be
Sorted on your islands
For all eternity

Misdeclaring cargo
And sending it across the sea
Expecting other countries
To take it in extraordinary
Crimes are being perpetrated
And we have to say
Its all coming back to you
Its being shipped today

All countries the world over must reduce their waste
Minimize their waste and under no circumstances expect
Other countries to be their dustbins.

All life on earth is sacred and precious
