Faces in the trees, the portrait of man in the long shadows, grumbling of eternity. 1.3 lbs per person, per day discarded by the feeding machine, landfills of barrenness groaning failure like God. Faces in the trees, the portrait of man in the long shadows, grumbling of eternity. 474.5 lbs per person, per year eaten by the teeth of squander, disposal at its core, unfilled mouths. Faces in the trees, the portrait of man in the long shadows, grumbling of eternity. 21.4 million cubic yds of landfill, methane rising to greet our lips pursed upon tombs built from forests. Faces in the trees, the portrait of man in the long shadows, grumbling of eternity. © 2010 by mark prime Rising Food Prices
