We bomb for peace, kill to save lives, destroy to create. Millions die as the rich guard the cure.

We're addicted to a destructive and depleting toxin that's slowly killing us.

We deify the individual yet suffer the loss of community.

We buy ourselves trinkets made by children to fill a hole we ourselves created and work until death to pay off the debt.

Our ambition drives us to abandon our family, shackle ourselves with loans and then create a family of our own, isolated from the ones we love.

We spend a lifetime fighting each other to the top of the bottom pile, while the masters of the universe buy and sell our children's future.

We reward the craven and the selfish and punish the moral and the ethical.

We busily recycle plastic and paper as pollution flows into our rivers and seeps into the air.

We are easily fooled by a flag and a song into sacrificing our children for a sacred illusion, who are then fooled into killing the children of others so rich people can be richer.

We lock each other away in cages for possessing a plant, yet millions die consuming other plants and nothing is done.

We turn away the poor at the hospital door yet spend millions imprisoning them.

We complain about congestion yet we careen along motorways, squeeze on trains- taking ourselves to work instead of bringing the work to us.

Born into a simple life, we thrust ourselves into a hectic one, in the hope of returning to a simple life in the end.
