Member-only story
We are consumed
and turned into objects.
And then we are
objects wanting objects.
A culture of wanting
and wanting to want
is no way
to have a society
no way
to have a soul
no way
to ensure
a better world
for anyone
when
too
many of us
are
consumed,
Consumed, consuming,
object and objectified,
all want and wanting.
Bottomless pits
we never explore
because if we go down
like Indiana Jones
our feet will just land on bones
that crunching sound of
shallow forgotten lives
used up by the systems
they gave their very lives to.
