Lives are discarded daily <br />for one reason or another. <br />Some are put in body bags <br />when they go to war. <br />Others are thought as hopeless <br />and are carelessly thrown away. <br />Some resist the movement <br />and within them the will to live is strong. <br />They fight for every moment <br />that their breath may give to them. <br />They want nothing more than to live, <br />the right of every mortal thing t <br />hat walks on the face of this good earth. <br />Before we discard a life, <br />we must give that life a chance to live. <br />Life is too precious <br />to be ever thrown away. <br /> <br />30 July 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thrown-away-7/
