Obscene Abundance
1. Absolute plenty/
Means that there’s always too much/
Surfeit is the norm/
#haiku
2. Abundance of goods/
Diminishes ev’rything/
Reducing each good/
#haiku
3. Mega-production/
Does not produce happiness/
Only lots of things/
#haiku
4. Indeed happiness/
Comes from the self-denial/
In all this excess/
#haiku
5. Those who can refuse/
All of this wretched excess/
Seem superior/
#haiku
6. Anorexia/
Akin to bulimia/
In rejecting need/
#haiku
7. Those who can say “no”/
In this “yessing wilderness”/
Have power we’ve lost/
#haiku
8. Hence thinner people/
Are privileged by culture/
Shamed by abundance/
#haiku
