the end

The world you love, and in which you grew

has changed forever, for the record, you have too

this is the end of time, at least as we have known it

the world changes faster each and every moment

exponentially, technologically exploding;

the wage gap widens, sinking or floating

hungry, homeless, extracting my tooth

the tv beckons "relevant news"

Elon Bezos ride to space

learning how to leave this place

trillions of dollars gone to space
exploiting all our resources here
they have bled their people dry
as they blast off to the stars

I have to wonder why

I can not afford to fix my mouth

I can not afford to own a house

My children suffer while they chase clout

Tragically suffered, evolved, found out

Never more should humans hunger

Or plead a medical case

While rich men play in space.
