Plastic Entrapment
We live in a Coca Cola snowglobe,
stomachs grinding McMuffins,
An IV attached feeding Starbucks espresso,
Bodies adorned by A-brand clothing,
sewed by Abercrombie and Fitch.
Ethnic mix produced by Taco Bell,
Computer engineered voices
hollowly echo through I-Phones, Pods and
music CORPORATION.
Hands and eyes glued to Sony's cold metallic features,
Microsoft providing computer fed minds
with ample advertisement.
Eyes watching, feeling, listening, voices trilling with joy....
As our faces press against the plastic manufactured world
inside our snowglobes.
