• Plasticity

When everything is financed
and nothing is bought
From your fashion to your furniture
and pretty soon your caught up
In some sort of web
Of finance and fear
And your personal identity
Goes only as deep as your pockets are near.

When the person you are
Depends on your power
To buy that sleek car
And one-up the neighbor
How foolish we are
To think that we could trade
This priceless identity
For a name stamped on a card.

And I’m tired of plastic things
Taking the place of gold rings
When the world moves at light speed
And I can’t keep up with the plasticity of being.

In this culture of plastic
That we assume is best
From the music that we listen to
To those things on your chest
What are we hiding
Trying to conceal
But the pain and the passion
And the beauty of the real in its coffin now

And I’m tired of plastic things
Filling the cracks in broken dreams
And the world is busting out at the seems
The world was so brave until it gave into plasticity

And I’m tired of plastic things
Making us less than human beings
As I write this eulogy
And I can’t keep up with the plasticity of being.
