30 Years

by Tyler G. Freitas (Featured in Flow Commotion)

We all knew
		the day would come
When we would
		lose our youth
No longer naive, 
		but still very ignorant
Of a world’s machinations
		domestic and foreign
Biopharma, MedTech . . . Tech-Tech

Greed, envy, consume, consume, consume
*MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH*
		
Can’t fill the void – 
		won’t pray til doom

Where did laughter and humility go?

Out the window, as we sit and stare at screens
Gripping our spleens, tainted by lab-made foods
Population growth—societal collapse
Waiting for the moment to lapse
Breath deep into the bottom of the lungs
The Game of Life has just begun.
