Rubbish Soup

Global warming

 smog

 poverty

*flash* 
  polar ice melting
        holes in the ozone
plastic waste pools in the seas
  disease
     degradation
genocide

        *flash* 
    ignorance
       environmental endangerment
           unaccountable politicians and corporations

        *flash*  
    consumerism
 floods
 earthquakes,

death. . .

Growing,
    all being seen live
       in a nice little package
                by you, on the couch,
            distracted
    desensitized

In front of your TV
 while you stuff your fucking face with garbage.
