The collective stench of humanity has settled heavily upon you,
The stains of time discolor your once pristine appearance,
But who among us does not need you?
In the most desperate of times you are always there,
It's not your fault you have been left to ruin,
Forgotten and ignored until needed most,
The human animal reveals itself it you in its basest form,
But you do not judge,
You only bring relief to those who freely disparage you.

Who has let you get this way?
Who has let you become a stark reminder of man's true nature?
Is it not all of us?
Have we not all failed you?

Yet you wait.
Willing to take the worst people have to offer without thanks or gratitude,
Simply there to release human beings from their most common sufferings,
And never expecting anything in return.

If only we could be like you, O Dirty Bathroom Stall,
If only we could all be like you.
