We look
we see
we want it to be
but to me
this is the thruway to
the throwaway
society

We get and it's done
and
already out of its time
where's the fun when
I want what they have and
they want what's mine?
so we barter or steal
doesn't it feel all to real?

this society fits
for the made
to measure *****
but it's still throwaway
all the way
every day.

I hoard
not because I'm old
or cranky or even tight ******
to part with things,
it's more like I have and
it's mine
never wanted yours and I'm fine
with that situation

the collectors
if refuse
is collectable
tell me
that it's quite acceptable
and they only come here now
and again
just to see how society
could be.
