Of course we did we are only human
way back in 1920 over a century ago!
the buying power of the world skyrocketed
technology as it was then manufacturing
blew open the world to so many
travel buying spending things
consumerism hit the world and we were never the same
see it now so far on things occupy space minimalism necessity over desire
taken as trite antiquities
what if instead of using that technology way back when what if the world had turned it into something different
now today we’d sit here with each other maybe enjoying conversation and tea more often reach into the earth
touch the trees realize there has always been enough
