Instant Gratification
Instant coffee
Microwave meals
Quick-pick lotto
The faster the better! is society’s motto
Fast food
Faster cars
and Service
Waiting at all will might us too nervous!
ATM’s
Drive-thru windows
Internet hopping
Choose any sort of one-stop shopping
Test-tube babies
Mail-order brides
and Personal ads
Has living, itself, become a mere fad?
Same-day delivery
Photos
and Surgery
Such claims often prove to be but a perjury!
Whatever happened to
haste makes waste
?
How can we enjoy without savoring the taste?
Instant gratification is truly ironic
Nothing good comes easy
is a much better logic
God made it all,
in only one week
Through our feeble attempts
is it His power we seek?
