I cannot deny
That coming here
Makes me feel better
And I'm not the only one.
As I look around
I can see friends,
Neighbours,
The whole community
Brought together
By the shared belief
In an afterlife.
But is that the only reason
That we come?
Could there also be
A little bit of guilt?
Or do we just fear
The judgement of others?
Ultimately
I suppose it really is
A question of faith
Because none of us
Really know for sure
Whether any of it
Actually gets recycled.

Just to be clear, I'm not "anti-green".
I still think that recycling makes good sense. However, when I hear reports that the material I take to a recycling centre actually ends up as foreign landfill, it does rather test my faith in the whole process!
