Their Trash, Their Treasure

Trash for a world,
Treasure for another
I stand by the street
As a silent observer
Filled with the unwanted,
Tossed in with disgust
Rifled for the needed
A boon to the cursed
Tiny hands look in me
Eyes glitter with joy
Sometimes a morsel
Or a broken toy
A toy with a story
A book old and torn
Of past full of glory
Yet those tiny hands hold them
And make them their own
A trashcan you say
As you walk away
Yet I see two worlds
Every single day

Look up

Non-conformism and Hateful Scorn are different things. Going through my facebook feed I noticed a few statuses/pictures scorning Mothers Day posts. Got me wondering, what is acceptable to these uber cool, sarcastic judges sitting on their self appointed e-social high grounds?

These are commonly scorned upon:
  •        Selfies
  •        Baby Pictures
  •        Engagement/Wedding Pictures
  •        Vacation Pictures
  •        Food Made By Me Pictures
  •        Political Views
  •        Location Check-ins
  •        Game requests

Today, Mothers Day posts were mocked, saying: "show her some real love, not on facebook." Wonder why these people think that if I put up a status for my mom, it is exhaustive for the amount of love I have for her and not exclusive of it.

What is the kind of content that they would approve of? It is interesting to think about what they really would talk about on their social networking profiles if not about what others have posted. Facebook/Twitter/Blogger and the likes have created this group of hateful people that mistake needless scorn for sarcasm.

It is a little sad to think that the first thought that comes to their head seeing a Mother’s Day post is that it is insincere. If you are busy looking down upon everything, you miss all the good stuff. Look up, be happy.
