american consumer

In the age on the American consumer, we need to be producers.  

That's the contradiction, and juxtaposition of all of it.

As America was formed was on the back of production, for and by all classes.

Minimal are the days of production, and consumption is met with a larger market share.  And the very nature that now separates the classes.

Consumerism.

Capitalism.

But in the end, "we" wanted this. 

To have production without effort.

Which is a masking of more time for consumption.

It's plagued our society.

It plagues me and my heart.

It plagues you and you don't even know.

Consumption over production.

In the end, balance is what is necessary.

Balance, however, will never be found here.

Or in a life of consumption.
