we are consumed

"the revolution has eaten her children"

i think i heard words to this effect in a song

and in these words

i heard a sort of truth

about innovation and evolution

and the good we haven't done

since the onset of this prosperity revolution

with all it's global information, developmental wealth

and personal freedoms

in a split second

in these words

i heard the haste and shallow trappings

that consume our lives

while we rush to consume what we can

and the revolution

consumes us
