Western Slaves

Slaves to excess

 Slaves to want what were told things

 that we should have

 because the perfectly good stuff we have is now "outdated" 

 old 

Everything needs to be Brighter, shinier, louder than anyone ever imagined

 we need to be able to cram in

 more and more and more 

 more stuff, more work, more money

 faster and faster and faster time goes

 time so accurate it will make your nose bleed

 so much stuff so little time so much excess 

 the old just thrown away 

when a newer better quicker sleeker, conforming clone becomes available

 neglecting the environment

 in the pursuit of the illusion

 of ever increasing profit 

before we know it we lose ourselves in the consumeristic world

 where nothing is off limits

 nothing is taboo 

we wonder why nothing seems to work the way it used to 

 why everything breaks

 making us careless

 because its replaceable

 everyone's too busy to stop for a second

 just one second 

 and 

 breath
