The Puppy Prophecy

puppy dances a dust storm:

she doesn’t know what rain is

because we don’t have that anymore.

 

one day, puppies will be afraid of trees

because they’ll be so rare.

 

and, I’ll say s**t like,

 

“I remember when you could buy

a bottle of water for 2 dollars.”

 

progress is a slow deteriorative

disease.

 

the cure exists,

but everyone claims we can’t afford it.

 

the saplings I planted by the pump-house

are burning

in invisible flames,

and the lake has become a crater.

 

there's nothing sexy about the future;

and that ugly b***h'll be here soon.

doom doom doom!!!

seriously, so much truth in this...i do remember making comments like:
"Who would ever pay for water?"
"At least they don't charge us for television"
"Pay for radio? hahahahahaha...yeah, like anyone would pay for radio!"
"WOW! these video laser discs are the wave of the future!"

I'm old , I paid 29 cents a gallon for gas
you could actually buy something for a penny
and dont get me started on the ecological disaster we call bottled water
