as one

of the one million single householders
in opulent of U S of A
multiplied by actual number of hours a day alone no wonder
our grandchildren are screaming
why?
we opulate never understanding
direct proportion
to pain and pollution caused by opulence
racing to keep up with the joneses was
a ruining america dream
flower children singing
"listen to your children, what they say..."
o children
will we ever listen?
