HAZMAT

Surf1Photo credit: DRYLANDProductions

We call ourselves civilized
buying what we’re told we need
throwing it ‘away’ with ease
look what we’ve become, the sum
of our life’s work is garbage
we surf man-made waves and our
bellies are filled with plastic.
it’s beyond addiction but
we believe the fiction, we
believe that we need more stuff
but no, it’s never enough
we always need more and more
ignoring perpetual
war against humanity
and against our habitat
and we all keep buying and
we’ve turned paradise into
a wasteland full of HAZMAT.
