A chair is just an object with no feelings, but...

 The Red Chair  

 

 

 

Red naugahyde. 

 

Leather imposter.

 

 

                      Cheap.                                                                                                                              

 

Sitting smugly.

 

                      Fake. 

 

Deceiving. 

 

Not as good.

 

                      Alone.

 

Disgarded.

 

Disregarded.

    

The red chair.        

 

  Weeps.

Cool. I think I saw it being thrown out by some up and comer. Not even the scavengers would take it from the curb. It's off to the landfill it will go unless those naughas can be recycled into new hides.

Red is also the color of a certain group will smugly holds on to old values by deception and is soon to be cast out onto the curb.
