In ancient times

We worked hard to survive

Walking miles to gather plants

Chasing animals in the hunt

Life was a constant struggle

Searching for food and water

Seeking shelter from the cold

People were fit and lean

But they were deemed uncivilized

It’s so different today

Drive up to a window

Shout your order

Pick it up seconds later

Pay for it with plastic

Inhale your processed food

Do it as often as you like

Order fast food on your phone

Have others deliver it

While you watch TV 

From your couch

Fill your face

With factory-made junk

Full of toxic chemicals

Designed to make you lazy

And crave more 

Tricking you into addiction

Is this really civilization
