We are consuming the planet for a mad game. We are creating and nurturing desires for profit – for nothing more than profit.
.
And never a question asked
Safety, comfort and ease,
Is the mantra of the modern world.
Superficial, artificial and pointless,
Is the new way of things.
If anything dares to live……
If anyone cares to be different……….
And never a question.
Shallow pleasures
With laughter and jollity,
But no spirit or substance.
Light to the mind –
Easy to the taste –
Lest it disturbs thoughts.
And never a question.
No depth or meaning
To ripple the mind.
Purchasing and consuming
Are the only purpose.
Numerals on a loyalty card –
And never a question.
