tRust

trust
we have faith in our cars
until they fail to start
and start to turn
to rust
then we trust them no more
so we change them

and this teaches us that things are not made to last

but this is what economies rely on
and we all depend on something
but our economy depends on the fact that
our cars will need replacing
along with our fridges and our freezers
our washing machines, microwaves, computers
shoes and our pants and our socks

but hang on..
what if we didn't need new things?
they would invent new things for us to want

what if we decided we wanted less
less pollution
less stress
less bureaucracy
less hassle
less government
less tax
no tax

maybe we would not bother to change our car
maybe we would do without
decide that we don't need it
change our way of life

what if we wanted more
more time
more freedom

what if we decided we didn't trust government anymore
that it had become less reliable
turned to rust

we could change it
or maybe we could decide
we don't need government
and do without it
change our lives

trust... to rust
less is more...
