Burgerama

Burgerama

Wrap it
Plastic box 
In fast polythene food it
As easy as frozen
And having children
Mash it
Mince it
Churn out time saving
Quick cut cardboard
Dinner
Is ready

Smell it
The regularity
Of air freshed
Puff
Repeats in timely separation
Of stinkless Molotov’s
Antiseptic illusions
Of falsehood

Scrubs the advertisement
Quick and needy
Sold out to the Burgerama’s
Speedy
Easy

A generation fed on
Shhhh – it
Slick propaganda-ised
Of saving it
The “ Soylent Green ”
Of multi-packaged
Diversity
Spoon feeds
Everyone

Mesmerized populace
Of diced and regurgitated
Pampered plethora's
Of choice  
Industrialized mouths
In rootless towers
Scavenging the next commercial break
For the latest
Meaning of life


( On the other side of the glass partition
   Stinky smelly dirty handed natural nature
   Sends out its signatures of soil fresh oxygen’s
   And 
   The Sun's distance from the Earth 
   Is about 400 times the Moon's distance 
   And the Sun's diameter is about 400 times the Moon's diameter
   Because these ratios are approximately the same
   The sizes of the Sun and the Moon as seen from Earth 
   Appear to be approximately the same
   This is why we experience the solar eclipse
   And they say this is merely coincidence )
