Extinction
Up by 9
Out the door
Fatty foods
And chalky liquids to get it all down
A few dollars an hour
Too many hours to count
For too little to live on
Abased as an emotionless android
Killing off the human
In the human race
Rent grows higher
Credit scores drop
Health falls apart
And forgiveness is a thing of the past
We grow automated
Sluggish
Doing the minimal things
Dragging our feet
At a time when there are no pick me ups
There may be billions of us
But we`re dying out
Out the door
Fatty foods
And chalky liquids to get it all down
A few dollars an hour
Too many hours to count
For too little to live on
Abased as an emotionless android
Killing off the human
In the human race
Rent grows higher
Credit scores drop
Health falls apart
And forgiveness is a thing of the past
We grow automated
Sluggish
Doing the minimal things
Dragging our feet
At a time when there are no pick me ups
There may be billions of us
But we`re dying out

About this poem:
We`ve become a world dictated by automatic systems, fast food, and not caring about what other people really need. We`re dying out.Written 5-31-11
