What do we do when
Leisure is a default
Not choice
When consumption is
Harmful to the health of all
What do we do
To compensate for the eventual loss of
All natural resources that powered our past
This is as an invitation to see life
In terms of its creative
And artistic breadth
That times have changed so seismically explains
This sweet anomaly
It's a values thing
What is worth paying for
Answer that and
You
Have your new economy
Save for the currency
Which is no longer
In the ground
But is the sum of what our
Brains put out
As creativity
Manifestation
Invention
As thrust
And sustenance
Both Dionysian and Apollonian
Non-tragic brew
We can consume like Bud
Logic
Design a new
Economy whose
Starting point's a floor for all
To compensate for the eventual loss of
All natural resources that powered our past
This is as an invitation to see life
In terms of its creative
And artistic breadth
That times have changed so seismically explains
This sweet anomaly
It's a values thing
What is worth paying for
Answer that and
You
Have your new economy
Save for the currency
Which is no longer
In the ground
But is the sum of what our
Brains put out
