ConsumptionA Poem by Carrie ChoseIn the modern age, what are we but consumers? Will we overrun our cities, scarify our commodities, and devalue our culture in the future?An ant in an age of anarchy That is what I am Hither and thither do I run Because, of course, I can Follow another, or follow none No one seems to care Until you make that one mistake And run for hide and hair Run for all we care to Speak of Heros like our gods Take the easy route And leaving the thinking to the clods People of the populace Art is what we eat Taking all the culture Leaving nothing but the street © 2015 Carrie Chose |
