Stuff - part 1

Stuff we take for granted
May not remain always so
Accustomed tastes
Like showers in the morning
Or a cup of hot qophy
Music, books, intellegent chat
Hop in the car, jet 2 the store
Disappearing into the void
Of contrasting value

Americans enjoy
Running off at the mouth
Saying words to shock
Howard Stern’s mother
Yet when solace comes
We tend 2 lie 2 ourselves
And tell each other – it’s okay
When it’s not

Now the world checks our lies
Watches us cannabilize each other
Because that’s the way it iz
Round world in a square box
Capitalist mentality of get more stuff
Without regard to yin or yang
No new frontiers left to conquer
Same old games we play …
