My new collection dropped on opensea on May 6th and is a comment on greed and waste. 10 pieces priced at 0.2 ETH and minted on my own smart contract. Each image comes with poetry that is part of a long prose on the subject. Click on the caption to view on opensea.
01 Aftertaste
Disposable Collection 01
the beautiful people
influence so well
with slick abandon
and perfect smiles
intense joy
laughter shared
then left
with sharp aftertaste
of shame and regret
we desire and take
grab and crave
while
the earth is trampled
by the weight of us
02 Life
Disposable Collection 02
nourishment
refreshment
joy
packaged
for convenience
time is precious
we save
and bargain for more
needs override
desire overwhelms
we turn a blind eye
03 Crushed
Disposable Collection 03
crushed
by endless wants
the real thing
belched out
by greed and cash
try to ignore
the gnawing
gaping hunger
for more
flashy
shiny
tempting moments
leaving nothing
but bitterness and waste
04 Wasted
Disposable Collection 04
a short life consumed
exhausted
disrespected
a legacy in long grass
forgotten
unremembered
erased
gone
while our abuse
scars the earth
05 Thirst
Disposable Collection 05
Spare me your fake concern
your bandaid solutions
your plans and schemes
while you spew out more
tell us what we desire
wrapped in a pleasing bow
and force it down our throats
while your stocks rise
your yachts sail
your glee unrestrained
you created us
06 Rage
Disposable Collection 06
like hapless children
we do our bit
to tidy our room
against an avalanche
of filth
more plastic bins
to save more plastic
more bags for life
forgotten at home
more petitions to soothe us
against the inevitable
07 Disposable
Disposable Collection 07
this vast space
magnificent earth
we dominate and possess
conquer and control
filth and smoke
waste and fire
a legacy
for our babies
and their babies
08 Shame
Disposable Collection 08
we burden the poor
who toil and graft
and die
for our lust
slaving for us
till we become
slaves
we admire the haves
pulling the strings
while we dance
at their command
09 Greed
Disposable Collection 09
earth will survive
burnt
scarred
battered
suffocating
delicate balance
upset
askew
ripped and torn
we will leave it
changed
but undefeated
10 Finale
Disposable Collection 10
in our final hours
we will breathe
regret
and sadness
for what we failed
to achieve
hope is human
but fading
and earth longs
for us to leave
