Are we a minimalistic bunch?
Look around you - what do you see?
Houses big enough, yet garages bulging with stuff
The flotsam and jetsam of all those compulsive shopping sprees.
__
Garbage cans overflowing
Clutter in all corners and nooks
All kinds of things from gizmos to chotchkes
Sigh, if only they were high music, art, or books.
__
And may I point out some of the places people have visited
Such as the Florida Keyes
Where the sea is full of plastic bags
As far as the eye can see.
__
We’re a dirty, messy bunch, in more ways than one
We are not civic minded, it’s clear to see
We are not frugal, or minimalistic, or restrained, in any sense of the word
And our generation will leave a shabby legacy.
