Small and weak
Your arms reaching forward
Then the hammer fell
It drove you forward
Forcing you to stab
Forcing you to embrace
Against your will
You held your burden
Tightly, so tightly
Then, violently
You were wrenched from it
Your task done
You were merely
Discarded

I feel the need for a new charity. Shall we form the RSPCS?

Edit: On second thought, lets beat these staples into shape. Slaat de spijker op de kop!

This poem I like. It's the type that comes to you in a moment; maybe just a line or something to give you the spark! :)

Wonderful! Never thought I would be considering the staple's point of view! :P
