That feeling after buying into one too many ideas.
“Say NO to plastic.”
screams the roadside banner.
“Sugar is pure evil.”
those pumped up twitter gurus chatter.
“If you aren’t into menstrual cups, you hate Mother Earth.”
some Insta-green celebrity natters.
Well then I must be the most degraded of them all,
With my online delivery orders,
love for honeyed coffee,
and generally, not 100% waste free ways of being.
Can I stop taking these angry billboards seriously?
We all know the facts, and as unsexy as it sounds,
there’s only so long one can handle being an angel at the cross,
even though it’s a very marketable dream.
Plastic’s a scientific marvel,
and spicy dinners are best followed by ice-cream.
Gonna try reducin’ this urge for binary labels and extremes,
just cause I fear the sad symptoms of a world OD-ing,
or am moved by some stranger's righteous grief.
