MON£Y WORLD.

I see millions of adverts,
Every single day,
Gracing tips of skyscrapers,
Plastering the subway.

Shameless advertising,
To rope me in, to keep,
Pages down the street ways,
Posters: heap upon heap.

The television blaring:
Guilt inspiring noise,
Donate a little money,
And straighten up your poise.

Just a little penny,
It's for the greater good,
A guilty smoke inside me:
I know I really should.

The advertisers know it,
They've got it all on me,
Know just where I'm weakest,
And pry that tiny fee.

At this rate I'll be broken,
With nothing left inside,
And I'll need charities,
And swallow all that pride.

They'll have sucked me bone-dry,
No money in my bank,
And when it comes to this,
Advertising? It's you I'll thank.

Reality Poem

Everything must go. Buy to fill the hole, The gaping gap within Your worthless little soul. 'Cause we're just paid, And we just buy, We all stack shelves Until we die. Why. It's simple.

In The Shopping Aisle of Good and Evil

Who made this garden. I ask myself. I want it at my house. The checkout stand reminds me what I can not live without with glossy magazines on racks, seductively displayed.
