I was reading "Living More with Less" by Doris Janzen Longacre and came across this poem written by a contributor to her book. Thought it was interesting...

Consumer's Prayer
by: Joyce M. Shutt

Throwaway bottles
Throwaway cans
Throwaway friendships
Throwaway fans

Disposable diapers
disposable plates
Disposable people
Disposable wastes

Instant pudding
Instant rice
Instant intimacy
Instant ice

Plastic dishes
Plastic laces
Plastic flowers
Plastic faces

Lord of the living
transcending our lies
infuse us with meaning
recycle our lives.
