Planned Obsolescence

Do you remember when a workman Used to ply his trade with care? Do you remember when good service Counted more than selling shares? Do you remember back when products Would all stand the test of time? Back when pre-planned obsolescence Would be treated like a crime Do you remember back before the time When daily prices soared? Before the great monopolies Had massed their obscene hoard And can you still remember now Before the bulging sacks Of Governments addicted to An overload of tax? And is it even possible That things were much more sane? Be glad at least you saw good times We’ll never see again For life is now just lies and greed Compassion rules no more We face a world where money rules And business is a wh**e From my PDF book "Bush Ballads and Bulldust"
