By Chance

Seeing my house: a wasteland
Of things I am unable to use 
On a daily basis. I live beyond 
my means. Am I rich or am I
Irresponsible? Rich enough to own trinkets. 
Irresponsible enough to be in subtle debt. 

It’s a cycle of consumerism. Impulse ate 
My virtues. Any concern of wastefulness 
Or nature, from which this all came from, 
Thrown out the window. It is then shut
To prevent carbon monoxide from entering. 
Of which I have contributed a great percentage 
By existing. Regret comes in a blind box. Which one 
Is it today: a glorious high or buyer’s remorse?
‘Oh’, just a sigh powered by capitalism.
