“Everything’s Disposable”
Everything’s disposable.
I realize this as I look at my spoon.
It’s plastic like the bowl I eat here from.
In a few minutes both will be in the trash.
These noodles will be disposable too,
I think as they go in my mouth, down into my gullet.
I’ll absorb their essence and dispose of the rest.
I look at my hands and see
That I am disposable too.
I’ll be used for my skill and disposed
Once I am no longer of any use.
Arbeit macht frei.
Work makes you free.
Once my soul has left its casing
Then my body will be placing
In a box to be disposed of as well.
We live in a society where everything’s disposable.
Cars, houses, clothes…
Toys, computers, ho’s…
Once something is no longer of any use,
It gets disposed of.
That’s life, so it goes.
Even this pen & paper is disposable too.
I’m disposable, but so are you.
Everything comes with an expiration date.
We all go bad like undrunk milk.
Your time will come.
So will mine.
Eventually this ink will go dry-
Then it will be disposa-
