***%) Ignominy of the consumer economy

Why can’t we even begin to care
when stumbling over the rubble?
How of reality be aware
while mired in fantasy’s bubble?

Why is it our unstoppable quest
as the planet keeps on fading
to soil our irreplaceable nest
and to still keep right on raiding?

Such is the ubiquitous ignominy
of the hapless consumer economy
