The Modern Obsession with Technology
(read top to bottom then bottom to top)
This is their world.
Quiet, peace, nature.
My life is a placid lake,
smooth as glass.
No metal blemishes or concrete pores.
Soon it will be different.
What is green?
Smog is a natural feature in our chemical makeup.
We should be worried if we weren’t in pain.
Covered in synthetic scars and acrylic burns.
This is our world.

Oh so very clever.
That read forward then backwards works sublimely well, I'm impressed.
Only the last line bothers me, it's a bit weak. Denies our capacity for change.
