Consumption Corral

By Not A Cost

Lethargy and voracity

Destructive luxuries

Apathy is kept

By force and privilege

Consumption corral

Cuffs freedom down

It's the end of the world and I am privileged

I don’t have to listen

I don’t have to see

All of the brutality

I don’t have to breathe

I don’t have to eat

All of the toxins

I don’t have to fucking think

Resource extraction continues stead-fast at an alarming rate

We’re pushing far past the earth’s carrying capacity can tolerate

I don’t have to fucking think

Mountains leveled to build fucking roads

We’ve got axes for trees and salt for snow

We’re fracking now to see how far this can go

I don’t have to fucking think

Boredom and narcissism

Fleeting luxuries

Ignorance is held

By force and privilege
