Ingenious Devices

one of our greatest tragedies
things are loved more than human souls
in lust allure material minds

we are sold the lie that the latest
hand phone, i-pod, tablet, gadget,
is life critical must have magnet

mere fleet fading fashion trends
hoola hoop, pet rocks, BlackBerry smartphones
in sold fashion mists yuppy roams

fashions are of more value than floods famines
more important than feeding starving millions
more important than icons deva loosing status
