A selfish world
A burdened population
The growing numbers
A need for inoculation
But we all arise
From comfortable slumber
And live our lives
Burying out secrets
Its been the only solution
Its just a little lite pollution.
A need for things
A lust for luxury
What our government brings
A system of structuring
Running water
Asphalt roads
A street lamp in the night
Its been our only solution
Its just a little light pollution
A hunger for distraction
A screen glaring bright
Something to comfort us in the night
The endless 30 seconds
Stuck on repeat
Leaving us stuck in our seat
Its been our only solution
Its just a little life pollution
The culmination of choice
Choosing comfort and ease
Taking from the planet
Without saying please
Running through the resources
Not replenishing what we stole
Our insatiable hunger
Taking its toll
No regard for life
Our only solution
To live this life of pollution

A fave for the message of this write. Nicely rhymed it carries the reader along on a human journey through exploitation of the environment and the introduction of waste management to pollution even our need for light at night and pollution of the dark. Well written
