Rare Earth Metals

Living your best life
comes at the cost of others.
It’s a hefty price,
but someone has to compensate for me.
Rare earth metals are

.pause.

The foundations of our modern world
are fundamentally unethical.
Does it matter.

Ethics are unethical.
Now I feel bad.
I don’t want to feel bad.
I want to feel.

.good.

I am a good person.
i talk about other people’s troubles
when I don’t have to.
They’re not me.
I do nothing.
But I do
bring it up
in conversation.

.unnecessarily.

I am a good person
See? Si.
Someone should compensate me
for being compassionate

.continue.

I am rare earth metals.
Consume me to pay
For your best life.
