Not a Burden For Its Weight

Not a burden for its weight and daily carried out,
He who takes it wishes it had never come about.

Punishment.

In Different Ways It’s Proudly Shown

In different ways, it’s proudly shown,
though many like it to have been sewn.
It’s never torn from being worn,
but when it’s torn, it should be burned.

A flag. They are displayed proudly in a variety of ways and are sewn on shirts. They are discarded from being too worn, but if torn or worn, they’re burned out of respect.

Has Teeth But Can’t Bite

What has teeth but can’t bite?

A comb. Other inanimate objects with teeth like a saw, zipper or a gear can “bite” you. Many people can affirm from painful experience in regards to zippers and saws, and the unfortunate factory worker who is missing a finger can attest to gears. It’s a rare event that anyone would be injured by a comb.

Another grim option is a dead animal or person.

And a head but can’t talk?
