Overconsumption
We go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
It’s easy to live in comfort and abundance
But maybe you drown,
Don’t live
And you just exist
Strip away luxury…
Could you be with just yourself,
And basic needs?

Of some ancient bones
That time had turned to sludge
But we're
Always seeking
Always making new temples
