It's the way of modern living, and can't we see it's doomed? Unless we all go to work, spend money and PAY for everything, our world as we know it stops. It's finally happened, no one here can take care of ourselves anymore. Everyone is Hooked In to the system.
It feels like a slipknot.
I wrote a poem about it just now! Sharing is sublime. Sharing our feelz... possibly and a fire and weed IN that fireplace. Just I guess it should fill the whole house. Can anyone share what they are doing to get by? Wouldn't mind hearing any of it
So, this poem is part of me. Not every part of me. Anyone writing through this??
My America of sea and land
Live by her, she provides
Cull the grain, burn the chaff
Net the waves, reap the tides
Neighbor trades, a friendship make
Banquets shared and gived
Goodness for the Goodness sake
For now my heart it breaks
We cannot live without our screen
Shopping there is so serene
Global net, our inbetween
Fragile, fraile, as we careen
What happened to our chance?
Are we destined, doomed by nature's dance?
Humbled and weak, can't feed ourselves
Here come the Dark Elves
Good. Without the distractions of our modern economy, art and literature and music flourished. Now in front of our screens or at our desks, we have less time to be creative.
The more modern conveniences we make, the longer hours we work. We do not give the people ownership of the machines, so we are owned by their owners.
As the human economy stops, nature recovers and pollution decreases.
