Garbage by Deepak Sarkar |
When my bi-weekly garbage became two small plastic bagsThe pick up persons were worrying about their jobs!But when I gave them just one small grocery bagThey were speechless, ‘How could you do that’?I asked myself the same question and found the answer!It was the result of my year long minimization effort!Which helped me realize how we buy unnecessary stuffsOnly to create more garbage while hurting inside and outside!I started with avoiding all canned and bottled productsGraduating to exclude processed food all-togetherAs I gained confidence mastering cooking healthy delightsGarnishing them with boiled and raw vegetables elite!Of course it was easier being a vegetarianComposting all inedible vegetables, fruits and leftoversRecycling milk containers, papers, and plastic bagsAll I had as garbage were used napkins and tissue papersAlong with packets and labels of modern grocery as bonus!In spite of living with sixty plus free lovebirds!I wish I could do the same with garbages beyond my control!Like enormously fat newspapers with ads and couponsTelevision ads that marring news and programs blurring visionPolitical campaigns that embrace gossips wasting billionsPrison industries that converting prisons to concentration campsYellow journalism which is polluting nations and notionsAmendments to bi-laws that encourage logging and discriminationsCovert intelligences that disabling overt democratic institutionsMilitary spending that leading us to self destructionScriptures that spreading lies for hegemony and dominations!©Deepak Sarkar(Dedicated to a pristine world – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)
