throw-away (Other) by mindsigns

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.

I think it is one of the great tragedies of Western Culture that that we live in such a 'throw-away' society. People will throw anything away these days - a used tissue, some trash, a light bulb, some crutches that have had some jam spilt on them, an unwanted child...

...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.
