How Come, I Am a Dirt Or a Shock Absorber

HOW COME,  I AM A DIRT OR
         A SHOCK ABSORBER!

Never  mind the insult
That, for sure I am not
Though in bad light
I’m likened to a dirt
In a kitchen sink or toilet bath
Strained as it clogs the way adrift.

But unlike in a baseball game
Instead an opponent catches a ball from strike
The runner miss the 1st base
As the referee would consider a lost time 
Competition turned over and done
No more to  live by and compete.

But to me its not  fair and just
As it is a bewilderment
Thereby….cannot accept
As the sly is without reason taints
To  down grade to the most  in a street
That  the slight is never than a fist fight
            -  below the belt.

Good when I am anatomized
Like a kidney  in the body -make
A purifier in the system to filter waste
So as the blood line clear and cleanse
Leave you a day in good mode out of trouble
As that,  a shock absorber , I could
          possibly  be!
