Going to the store

I’m going to the store
for dirt and water, yes more!
What a challenge to my intellect
But at the store they’re perfect
Wrapped in cleaned plastic
I’d say it’s worth it!

Although my ancestors well before me
Had no such luxury
And I’m often reminded: we’re the lucky
To be free to purchase the earth in plastic.

I can hear them now…
Ascendants mumbling and bumbling
So befuddled, yet so humbling
Aren’t we sentient beings, don’t we know
What parts of this life are just for show?

Life is more simple than we think
We are disconnected, we’re missing links
The earth will always provide for free
And the tycoons always charge a fee
