throw-away
Like an old big wheel made of rubber and plastic
in a dusty cellar back home,
Kind of like chewing gum and a laser gun
that makes a noise and lights up some.
It's like an empty hallway in the dark,
a parked car with his headlights on,
and when a little shoe makes you feel so younger...
it's a throw-away.
Like a brown snowsuit in a pile surrounded
by the Blizzard of '78
Hands plastered still as priceless art
on a driveway where all those dreams were paved.
It's like a curtain turning off the days,
a women without her hairspray,
while that photograph makes you outright laugh...
it's a throw-away.

...yes that's right. You heard me. I said "unwanted child". Because in our obsession with materialistic wealth, we've lost sight of what it is that makes us all human. We've forgotten about the TRUE meaning of Christmas. We've started to treat PEOPLE as if they were mere OBJECTS... The "oh I don't want this baby I'll just get an abortion" attitude is so fundamental to our outlook on life that I think it's affecting our ability to operate heavy machinery.
