Iphone, laptops, and the internet is to make us all smarter But it makes us all dumber, and life alot harder Microwaves, bread makers, electric can openers so we can save time To help us make supper on less of a dime We no longer talk to friends we text Ment to bring us closer but it's more like a hex Want to see a sunset just look on a screen Don't go outside that would be obscene We spend all our time at work to buy possessions It's like an obsession This material world perplexes me It's all around me, you see Ment to bring us closer, save us money, and time But we are always working so much, it's more like a crime No time for family, friend or mother nature In this material world we've fallen into a crater Wouldn't it be funny if the plug was pulled And we would have to go back to using hand tools I think we all would turn into drooling fools

Material World
The surrounding pleasures measure me And all that I have become, The petals fall so slowly, Telling time for the passing young. Beauty triumphs from corners Of mouths bursting with stories to tell Who rose to conquer new places How they differ from those who fell. Motions depict a serenity, Once followed with wonder and awe Now punching with rhythmic nothing's, The small screen has become the new law.
