Can make you commit atrocities.”

Today’s world is a dandelion
Each of us is a flying pappus seed
Our own fertility seekin’
(We’re trained to turn it into greed)

Somehow we grow out of condemnation
Choices we decline to make create us
We are trained to celebrate negation
(Finally just our selfishness we trust)

We must coexist with those of poor taste
Who, exactly ǝʞıן us, judge poorly
Mixed society, with poor leaders, faced
(Algorithms make us judge early)

I weep for those who’ve traded their lives
For counterfeit Heaven dope derives

Out of the soft clay of this 1 today
People can make paradise, come what may

Mercifully, tomorrow’s constructed
Out of life’s daily activities
Do your daily chores, I’ve been instructed
(Avoid indulgence’s proclivities)

When I was young, I found a work-around
That seems to be working magnificently
“1-day-at-a-time” has made me more sound
(I execute this irreverently)

I never thought about the future
Much more than a day or 2 in advance
Never did I my golden years nurture
(I’m a prisoner of yesterday’s trance)

There is a deeper truth & verity
Emerging from daily obscurity

There is an unseeable display
Contentment is simply acceptance
The willingness to settle for today
In all its magical evanescence

When you’re among the human masses
An atom in the entirety
Whether we’re angels or warring asses
We people are hopefully mighty

Sadly technology’s frog marching us
Into an climatological jail
Jackbooted goose stepping is a must
To avoid walking Spanish down the hall

How can I put this More tactfully
“Less is More” & “More matters much less”
I just want More sustainability
Lest all these gizmos cause people More deaths
