Re-purposing

When do you throw it out?
When it's scratched and battered and worn?
Or, do you find utility
After the luster is so long gone?

We like to have things
All shiney and new to decorate our home
But, sometimes it is better
To keep tried and true where value is well known.

We've become a people
Who just throw it out upon the garbage pile
When there is so much use
Still there you see if we'd just keep it awhile.

There may be a need to repurpose
Instead of just pitching it out
There's lots of life left in that thing
Though it may require thinking about.

It's not just things to which this applies
People get treated the same
As they age and are replaced by somebody new
They just need a new spot in the game.
