matter cannot be created
matter cannot be destroyed
matter can only change form
as in
earth-matter,
when it's
made into things,
made into mall-stuff,
and sold,
sold out,
our earth sold out,
unbalanced

a rotational disturbance
is upon us
like a top spinning down
continents heavy with things
opposing continents
light with hunger,
children spinning down

matter cannot be created
matter cannot be destroyed
matter can only change form
(earth-matter
into
mall-stuff)

we want what we want
