Humanity Before Paper

Subsistence defined by need, not want A time when provisions made to survive With no barriers; wealth not reality Now a time when commercialism shadows death. Purchase for consumption; nothing is free Their poisons inserted, to see growth spiral Populations diseased; their hunger satisfied Success not a work of art, but a measure of worth . Inventions praised; expense raised Weapons more devastating, eyes only faucets The world's end bound; prophesied by man, knowing his own hand. Science a technicality of beauty; life not learned Math bewildering; love confused Reversion, a must; humanity's teachings before papers'.
