I am recycled
100% post consumer product
A re-assembly of genetic material
Everything I do, has been done before
All that I am, is a collection of others
My soul is well beyond it's intended lifespan
The warranty on my sanity has expired
Though I am safe for children 2 years old and up
I am slowly falling apart


I am recycled
You recognize my parts
Find nothing new or exciting
And you move on
I am a yard sale bargain
A not-for-profit commodity
I am 2nd hand, used to un-usefulness
I have a discounted price,
Room has to be made for the newer models
Barely reliable, I need constant refurbishing


I am recycled
A high maintenance item to be sure
It is my character that draws the eye
If you take the time to look past my exterior,
You'll find I have a solid core
The wear and tear is all most people see
I'll get through life not being better than anyone
An average robot in everyway







My heart is recycled
It has been melted down and recast
With each discard, it is molded into stronger form

Do you know where we can get a renewal on the warranty ? This reflects the all to common to be tragic.. mindset of a tossaway culture. Excellent ...To many favorite lines to list.

'Tis indeed an inspiring write. You express the truth in a way that I have not heard it expressed before.

truer words are rarely spoken with such precision and purpose...nay, a newer model would not posses the life experience your classic soul needed to birth this work...my highest praises and esteem, BRAVO!!

I love your take on this, original and well written. your writing has a very subtle character, your words resonate and gradually intoxicate me whole -lime.
