Convenience is Doom
\n 1.
\nPlastic is so convenient;
\nit chokes seas, collects within us\u2013
\nGas engines, so convenient;
\nthey choke the skies, they fall to rust\u2013
\nPesticides, RoundUp, so convenient;
\nthey choke our wells with toxic spume;
\nSmothering malls\u2013so convenient;
\nFace it: convenience is doom.<\/p>\n
2.
\nThey came to us smiling,
\nwonders in hand,
\nconvenient material,
\nsleek as a rocket:
\nso shiny, so easing,
\nthe design is tres grande:
\neven computers
\nyou carry in pockets;
\nhypnotic screens,
\nchargers in sockets;
\neach new gift
\nwas a phase in their mission:
\nnow they\u2019ve trapped us
\ninto a prison.
\nSo get used to your room:
\nConvenience is Doom.
