Throw Away

It's funny how people can just throw you away Even after all you gave to humanity Breathe, life, plain existence That still doesn't determine how important you stand  Makes you wonder, what's the importance of man? It takes death or solitary confinement to understand What the world really thinks about you The truth is, once you're gone they forget  Like you weren't a human being Someone that loved Someone that hurt Someone that cared You counted And the world claimed to respect you The fragile outline of a man Father, Brother, Uncle, Son of a God These were just a few titles you held on to Society gave you right to claim these parts of you But with the swiftness of lock The lock of a 5 by 9 jail cell Those titles are revoked  People from the outside looking in Laugh at you, scold you, and give you a new label Murderer...better yet, Monster You might as well be the lowest of the low You don't count Number two pencils to erase your name out of the holy book Man erased you Thou shall not kill and for that heaven will never accept you I cant attest to these things But man judging each man's transgression is a unfair law I'm sorry Not for you But for the rest of the world erasing you I can't erase you It's not in my heart to throw you away Take away your liberty and your right to be happy They put you in the dark, placed you among roaches Made an example out of you Of how one man can have power over another Treat you like a piece of sketch paper And throw you away  Society threw you away And it makes me sad to think, I too can be thrown away Maybe my day will come to meet that trashcan of iniquity
