Is it possible?

Zero impact
Impossible
Capitalist spending
Like commercial vending machines
Embedded
A cola never far away
We are always
Willing to pay
Shopping
Entertainment
Occupying
More than
The usual
Saturday

Zero impact
Impossible
Cheese and bread
Hard-boiled egg
Staples
On any trek
Vegetarian delights
Meat lovers fight
We no longer
Lightly
On this earth tread
This understanding
Leaves me panicked
Filled with dread

Zero impact
Possible
Something to strive for
Several elements
We control
Summer’s bounty
Fuelled by labour
Winter’s too long to find a gardeners’ favour
Drought and floods
Certainly not best friends
Scavenging the markets
A common trend
All fuels
Seem to trigger war
Saying no
An element insecure
Blanket boycotts
Seldom
A strategy secure
