Comfort Class

Babylon... there is a price to pay... greater than the mighty dollar can ever re-pay or compensate for the greed and lust of filthy nations... hands tainted by blood and wickedness.

Governments/countries built upon the very foundation of their own lies, deceit, and arrogance in order to prop up their enormous material interests at the expense of themselves and other nations. More and more valuable resources are stolen, raped, plundered, to acquire more and more and MORE to satisfy a never contented belly...belly of the Beast!... FEED ME.. it say as its hunger remains insatiable and feeds off all it can consume from the world around it...how can this be continually justified?...let alone maintained?

Landfills full to overflowing blow a foul breeze as the stench hangs thick in the air. Attempts to make things look pretty on the outside by planting grass and dyeing trees over and on top of the ever-growing mountains do little to conceal the rot and decay that lie underneath the sky-reaching domes. So they try to spray (I don't know what) all over the rolling cascades to diffuse and disperse the rank and foul odor...but the wind still blows and the nose still knows the stink is rank no matter what gets sprayed. Now you have synthetic toxic chemicals added to the scented potpourri mix, and scavenger birds seem to love it even still, as huge flocks of seagulls descend amongst the mighty mountains of garbage in massive white waves from this neverending throw-away society where landfills are becoming a symbol of greed and lustful decadence.

Refuse is BIG business these days.

As the land gets gobbled up to make room for more houses, the houses get bigger, more like mini-mansions, to house and make room for more stuff ... yes... endless amounts of trivial stuff.

Consumerism is a mighty beast that knows no bounds and is like a monster that cannot be stopped. The strong blood-red current continues to flow from the many sacrificial lambs slain upon the altar of humanity to pay for the almighty comfort of the greedy self. Just how much does one need anyway? And do ones ever consider the real cost? How much comfort is truly enough to satisfy?

The bulimic nations are sliding down on the vomit of their own gluttonous appetite... starving much of their own body in order to gorge another... yet what they don't realize... is that what they do to one part of the body... they do to the whole... and the body AS a whole is suffering from the ignorant blindness of the comfort class... where there never is enough and exploitation of every available resource has become many nations' occupation... quite literally!
