Dereliction drastic: Buying stuff in plastic

Convenient in the moment
to buy what’s sold in plastic
but no peace of mind bestowment
as dereliction drastic:

Pernicious plastic everywhere
in human, flora & fauna cells
in groceries, crops, soil & air
in oceans, lakes, streams & water wells

So kids, shall not be solved by smile
or in cute selfies implore
To be saved from a future vile
won’t work trying to ignore

Parents who do not want to change
is an intransigent force
who shall continue to derange
while say they love you of course

But as their conscience is elastic
their engagement be at best spastic

Panem et circenses

Refuse defenses
of both ‘panem’
& of ‘circenses’
best just ban’em

They provide spurious easement
distracting entertainment
mere superficial appeasement
in consumer containment

Such ‘adults’ in shorts:
keep celeb name-dropping
shopping, watching sports
snacks with extra topping

Won’t achieve Reality attainment
watching commercials & infotainment

A baby calf’s life they cruelly steal so we may enjoy a meal. Bon appetite, anyone?

Eating a tender ‘veal’ meal
brought to dinner table
with ugly, hardhearted zeal
Here’s goes the non-fable:

Cruelty we’re mislabeling
yes, how a calf becomes veal
This is what we are enabling
it’s a once in lifetime steal

He suffers alone the forlorn calf
put in dark bin to become ‘veal’
on pitiless meat eaters behalf
all his hoped-for joy they would steal

After months in the dark
posture hard to be shifted
calf cannot even walk
so weak he must be lifted

Then drawing his last breath
from Hell’s lonely bane
liberated by Death
from the gruesome pain

“My eating cheese, drinking milk
did not kill the milked cow!”
Well, you of indulgent ilk
it does, here’s when & how:

A milked out cow suffers five years
when slaughter ends her life in fears

On your ass in morass

If you’re part of the admass
lost, beguiled & propagandized
you’re on your ass in morass
unwittingly anesthetized

The MSM ain’t independent
rather the Elites’ co-defendant

+)
-admass = the part of society that is easily influenced by the mass media and advertising;
-MSM = main stream media

Should’ve been iconoclastic about plastic

Reigned briefly
did Humankind
Brawled chiefly
left mess behind

Our Species capricious
in predicament drastic
piled garbage pernicious
stifling planet in plastic!

While us Humans quick in verbal comeback
when it comes to changing we turn our back

They shall pass muster, so pass the mustard!?

Advertised on blogs:
“These pass muster!”
about some hot dogs
“Pass the mustard!”

Maybe hot dogs look good
given a cursory glance
from where we had first stood
but if looked again, askance:

How & with what are hot dogs made
but poor mistreated animal parts?
The question we evade, dismayed:
How did they end up so cold, our hearts?

But don’t ask, just chomp, don’t tell!
If tastes good, ain’t then all well?

Pending collapse as if in time-lapse

Must be the fossil fuel
or the biggest banks!
Those from ivy league school
in government’s ranks!

We seldom seem nonplussed
that is never caused by ‘us’
Of course would’ve been unjust
as too busy to discuss

Still makes ‘us innocent victims’ fume
when we’re trying so hard to consume

Disadvantaged but they managed

We hail from people who had to toil
through ages in bleak subsistence
on some miserly morsel of soil
eking out a grim existence

Disadvantaged
but they managed

Now to ‘consumer’ uplifted
infinitely more stuff
How human life has shifted!
Why can’t we get enough?

So what if the sky is grey or blue when busy pricing household glue?

They walk in Summer weather gorgeous beyond words (at least mine) but seems can’t refrain from ogling their smart phone screens

Roundly outsmarted by their phones
amidst billions fellow clones:

Do they watch sky’s shades of blue
listening to winds rustling leaves
while price checking household glue
or how to foil those cat food thieves?

Are their lives adhering to plans
getting soon to driving that Benz?

Wide tires look so cool

Think wide car tires look so cool
and who says they waste gas?
Should not make us vain a fool
or a science slack ass!

They’re part of our urbanity
of which tires aren’t just incidental
Not a case of mere vanity
and ain’t to others detrimental

It’s not what we actually steal
It’s all about how is makes me feel
