Tis the Disposable Age!

Tis the Disposable Age!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Just reality!

"

When something breaks, throw it away and buy a new one

 

We've heard it said there's nothing new under the sun,

 

but that doesn't apply to the s**t we make;

 

tis the disposable age; is it not?  When something breaks,

 

simply throw it out and buy another

 

No expensive repairmen; no, we've got you covered!

 

Never mind that our landfills are overflowing,

 

it's just pollution, and, what are you going to do?

 

And we make our products so damn complicated,

 

you'll need an 8-year quantum physics degree

 

to figure it out; we make you send it away

 

to some hard-to pronounce third-world country;

 

and we guaranty our product; yes, we guaranty

 

you'll be so fed up and frustrated, that

 

you'll throw your hands up and say screw it,

 

and buy another; which is really what we

 

wanted, all along!
