Yeah I prefer the conveniences and wealth this system provides over some kids life any day.
Some people believe that we are doing no harm by living in such a way we are doing now, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the high consumption lifestyle or greed. Some just don't care or aren't aware, but we can't keep on going like nothing is happening, because it will not last long, either the earth gives way first or the people who suffer from it do, the question is whether we will be able to stop either from happening before its too late. We may not be able to stop this overnight but we can gradually diminish the effects we have on others, by using our power of the purse to demonstrate to the avaricious businesses that we will no longer partake in the cruel system they have unknowingly made us live in.
Rudimentary Peni- Cosmetic Plague
Being honest is no means of survival, avoid your inner-feelings like the plague,
This is what it takes to comply with the images this structure will accommodate,
But things aren't what they seem when they're partially hidden behind walls of pretense built for peace of mind.
The barriers between us are forever maintained by our acceptance of the roles others choose to define.
In a world of competition life's portrayed as a contest where we're forced to live by making gains at others expense,
But no-one's really gaining when perpetual conflict's the result of our relationships based on pretense,
We don't need this cultural cosmetic division it upholds the self-interest on which the system feeds,
A deconditioned consciousness of mutual respect is the only way to cure this cosmetic disease.
