S**t-stained Toilet seat

Something new that just came over me.

There comes a time
when you realize the futility
of your actions
that no matter
how hard you try
how much
you bang your head against the wall
sometimes
you just can't change things

You ever sit wrong on the toilet seat
so that when you get up afterwards
there's some blob of s**t left behind?
So then you have to wipe it up
especially if it's someone else's house
or if you have guests over
sometimes
it seems like you can never get that seat clean
there's always some crack or crevice
that the s**t gets stuck in
or some faint stain is left behind

it's a giant metaphor for life
and I know that I'm not the only one this happens to
cause more often than not
I'll go into a public stall
and there's a blob or smear left behind

I guess some people just don't care
or maybe all the fight has gone out of them
maybe they'll figure
someone else will clean up their s**t
another metaphor

sooner or later
you'll have to clean up
someone else's s**t
and sometimes
things just aint worth fighting for.

I swear to God I haven't read such a brilliant piece of work in so long. There's nothing sh*t about this @ al @ all, a fantastic metaphor and a clear understanding of your message....'Clean up your own mess because others cant, they are too busy cleanin their own' . I applaud you for this, there is quite a funny edge to it too. Im definitelty adding this to my favourites. Happy New Year
