Sans Speed Bumps

 

The Tyrant currently in play
has texted a decree
that natural spoilage
has been rendered obsolete

The concept of shelf life
long a bane
of consumer existence

and retail profit margins
is no longer relevant

Hello Consequence
and its rambunctious cousin
unintended Side Effect

Windows now close
with such hyper speed
like life in general
these micro baked days

Somber reflection time
previously slowly marinated
with thought process contemplation
has been accelerated
and crammed
into the scorched

blurred out sections 
afforded knee jerk reactions
compounding the frustrations
of modern fractured communications

Going with this toxic flow

with the opiate of appeasement
is destined to hurl us lazy bastards

off the cliff
and into the bottomless abyss
dead civilizations never come back from
