Crazy World

AI is supposed to make contacting companies easy,

but instead, the stupid pleasant voice drives us crazy.

Slave, weed and water garden crops all summer,

when we can just buy them a lot cheaper, bummer.

But when the soil dries out and becomes barren and infertile,

feral invasive rare spices, greens and mints jump that hurdle.

Buy convenient contaminated commercial water in plastic,

driven from mostly safe city water by hype, fantastic.

Sympathize with the victims of war on both sides of the battle.

But as victims pile up, the battle escalates along with its prattle.

Floods in low-lying areas leave more to replace every year,

but we continue to build back, holding memories way too dear.

We are off to a stupid colonization of the Moon and Mars,

when the Moon was ours 50 years ago, Moon rock in jars.

Feared another dinosaur/human extinction meteor on the way,

found out that a simple deviation of orbit would save the day.

With powerful space-based telescopes, the universe is ours,

but the more we find out, the less we know of its strange powers.

Value our personal babies above all sense and reason,

our population becomes more unsustainable, each season.

Love our fat confined pets because they fill us with glee.

Have we ever asked them if they want to be wild and free?

Waste a lot of time thinking about what happens after death,

but no one has ever returned from that place for another breath.

There are many more crazy things if we just think about them,

all we have to do is realize it's crazy and cut it off at the stem.
