Take a look around and what do you see?
In many cases all you spy is nature’s beauty,
But I see the fly tip unwanted crap
Somewhere behind the bushes at the back,
And I am outraged as I get it cleared, it’s unacceptable
But it’s only a fraction of our waste, of which much goes abroad,
And ends up on the beaches of Nigeria and Africa
Out of sight and mind so as it doesn’t distract you from,
Buying mindless crap that we don’t really need
Instant gratification is a human disease,
And when we’re bored with these things we don’t want to see
Where it gets disposed of and who suffers through our greed,
Out of sight and out of mind it helps us sleep
But the consequences of materialism are what feeds the beast,
A byproduct of living in a machine driven technological society,
Where people barely notice because they don’t look up from their screens.
