Avarice of Adam

We mere mortals,
Are but temporal beings.
Drowned by the wine of luxuries 
That life has to offer.
That being said, still suffices not
(Countless, numerous sins ongoing
Creating, still dreaming 
Of robots never-ending)
The forgotten warmth near the fireplace
And those which are eternal
Just to be swept away
By the broomsticks of the witch,
Just to be blinded by the lust of ambition.

The ever continuing battle between proponents of a bright shining mechanized, sanitized,didgitalized future and those who want to slow things down a bit and give the good bits of the past a chance to catch up. I am for the later
