An Ize Sort of Day

In this world we criticize
When will we realize
That sometimes we should fantasize
Instead of ostercise

We try to commercialize
And revolutionize
And even capitalize
When all we should do is harmonize

In this world we colonize
And some terrorize
And then pulverize
And we institutionalize

It is a world where we advertise
Go crazy with exercise
Want food pasteurized
And drink milk homogenized

Then we coat  it caramelized
Not showing what we despise
Because we try to revolutionize
Instead of realize

yes, I do remember this monorhyme! It's such a true statement of how things are today. Phyllis, I sure wish I could find a new poem of yours but I really think I have read them all. I should start back at the very end of your pages and work my way forward again!!! Thanks for your sweet comments today. Luv, Andrea
