The words below form a musing...
Humankind
Look about you; and what do you see?
A group of people like you and me.
Some are fat and some are thin
All are just covered in a layer of skin
Shall we go deeper into the flesh?
Take a look at what they possess.
Anatomically defined, humankind
Mankind intertwined, designed thus, us
Are we good are we bad?
Do we want all that we have?
Do we need or is it greed?
When we proceed to overfeed
Unrestrained indifference to consumerism
Leaves us open to malfeasance, and our skin wrinkles.
But fear not, the answer is to be found in a ***!
Only £€$¥ 9.99 and that wrinkle is smoothed.
So, buy today and it will go away.
And all of us will one day die and turn to dust.
And all we buy will fade and rust
And love will never be enough
