Must Have Been Made for Something Better

Folder: 
September 2010

These eyes must have been made to oversee a giant conglomerate,
this nose must have been made to smell something obtuse and absolute,
this mouth must have been made to speak up for masses of people,
these arms must have been made to carry the wood to make a steeple,
these knees must have been made to move the weight of someone important,
these legs must have been made to carry the man who carries out transplants,
these toes must have been made to curl next to the love of my life,
these talents must have been given to me as inspiration, not strife.

These eyes are being wasted by turning redder than 3rd degree burn,
this nose is being wasted by smelling skunk strong enough to concern,
this mouth is being wasted by coughing constantly as I hit the green,
these arms are being wasted by holding no more than I wish myself to seem,
these knees are being wasted by moving the legs of someone like me,
these legs are being wasted by carrying the weight equal to 183,
these toes are being wasted by picking up nothing but pebbles and dirt,
waste away in the rolled up high that only brings more trouble and hurt.
