A novelty. <br />A thing. <br />A commodity. <br />Something thought to be without feeling. <br />Used and discussed. <br />Disrespected for purpose and meaning. <br />Disregarded and quietly diminished. <br />Finished! <br />To be of no one's advantage as planned. <br />And as planned it is determined, <br />No one benefits. <br />Even those who manipulate the outcome.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
