the box

Somebody knocked over the box by the door

and all of its contents were dumped on the floor;


Without a care, every person did ignore:

and for a while that pile sat on the floor.


The clutter continued to lay

despite every sluggish passing day;


not a single soul batted an eye

at the miserable mess that lie.


Forsaken;

this poor pathetic pile still sits.


Disregarded;

it only occasionally causes fits.


Eventually forgotten it became

while humanity continued life,

ceasing to ever be the same;


Yet nobody ever thought to check what lay

inside that old, abandoned heap by the door,

forever left as a wreck to this very day.
