Trash Cans

 

Used and abused

even thrown when confused

the trash can takes it’s all

no prejudice no benefits

 

through the sun through the rain

the ugly and mundane

the trash can endures it all

always taking the fall

 

all the memories amassed

all it’s emotions overcast

the trash can in all its solitude

eternally emptied in the multitude

 

with all the trophies and groceries

the daisies and royalties

a place where all things end

and broken swords are sent

 

reused and misused

bruised and abused

the trash can takes it all

no prejudice no benefits
