Thneeds
Who needs them?
They’re plastic and cheap
They’re toxic
Society
They’re made by Big Business, Corporations,
Monsanto
They’re stupid, I don’t need them
And yet,
You buy them
You eat them
You wear them and watch them
You give them to your children
To play with
Because they make life easier.
But…
They’re sick, they’re EVIL
They destroy Mother Nature,
and ruin communities
Their comfort blinds us
from Reality
Yeah,
But, they saved your Mom’s life
last Spring
And
without them,
you’re sister with diabetes would die.
How foolish, how fake
You think you can outsmart Nature?
Those things you buy, they’ll never
Fill
That emptiness inside
Go ahead with those green
slimy bills of yours
and try…
You can’t buy happiness
Alright, ok.
Well listen here, pal:
You can’t buy happiness,
You’re right.
But if you are so convinced,
Then why not quit the system?
Those are Big Words you’re talking
But I don’t see you Doing
As for me,
I know that Thneeds aren’t ideal
But I also know that
to change
the system
You’ve gotta be in it.
Those Thneeds, those man-made lies
Keep me
Alive
So for now,
I’m gonna keep eating them,
wearing them,
and owning them,
because they are helping to grow
My
Truffula Seed.
