It is society's fault
that the world is rotting,
that we are
rotten

when everything is gone
when everything that was
created so carefully and
sculpted so spectacularly
is taken,

blame yourself

everyday we take,
we gain and
we pride ourselves on greed

what we own is who we are

the amount of money we spend
on clothes and technology,
we could spend on food banks
and help stop poverty,

we take what we can
and we build on that beautiful world,
and the more we make, the more we ****,
and the harder it becomes to be somebody
who cares
i don't think this is a poem, i think this is a rant in disguise
