building utopia

ink and mixed media on watercolor paper.

we can built it
build it bigger
get more
leave it behind
get more
leave it behind
a pile
a billion piles of sticks and plastic
draw lines of pavement between
consume all we can
happiness through acquisitions
buy meaning
procreate, procreate, procreate
burn it all down
suffocate in the smoke
take the pills
food grown in labs stuff bellies full
the other goes hungry
face to face, we cannot see one another any more
this is god’s country…
