Consumed

A Poem

for Estacious(Charles White)

We are consumed and turned into objects.

And then we are objects wanting objects.

A culture of wanting and wanting to want

is no way to have a society

no way to have a soul

no way to ensure

a better world for anyone

when too

many of us are

consumed, Consumed, consuming,

object and objectified, all want and wanting.

Bottomless pits we never explore

because if we go down like Indiana Jones

our feet will just land on bones that crunching sound of

shallow forgotten lives used up by the systems

they gave their very lives to.
