There was a time
When women walked miles
To bring water
Atleast it was free
Whereas today, five dollars a litre
Water! Water nowhere.
The green leafy vegetables
Available at a premium
Three days waiting period
Cars and choppers one day delivery
The calcium in the milk
Has shot up like gold jewellery
And the most expensive of all
Flagship product that keeps us alive
Available in cans of 200 ml
Only ultra rich can afford a litre
The life giver gas oxygen
Post-humanity humans breathe
Suck on the cheap gold cans
Shelling a fortune to live
