Consumerism

Obsolete goods

Like the wasted gifts
You never wanted

Like the perfectly good car
You trade in for better

Like the mobile phone
Built to last only a year

Like the packaging used
To persuade you to buy

Like the thrown out food
You made too much of… yet again

Everything you so desperately desired
Now no longer care for…

Piled high, crushed then covered
To create the basis for land
Upon which we’ll later live.
