The men who scavenge for insulated copper wire for a living put their health in grave danger every time they set out to work.
Danger
The children at night;They cry, For their loved ones are ill, From the fumes our hunger produces. They dream of a world for happiness, Joy and imagination; For many memories could be created From this electronic wasteland. Think of the things we could make; Planes that fly. Think of the things we could do; Metal that talks. Don't kill our home, Our family, our hope, For we can do many things With this electronic wasteland.

When I was new, you knew me more, You used me much, you explored all my features, you were proud of using me, you boasted about me to your friends, And at some point of time... I became outdated for you, you lost interest in me, You found someone new and disposed me as such... But you forgott that I had cadmium, lead, beryllium and many more in me, I would not have caused all this hazardous damage to you and your world if you had disposed me properly in any one of the electronic waste disposal centers. Make sure you do it, so that I can be recycled without causing any harm to you and the environment here on... Thanking you, E-waste
