REALITY IS BAD FOR BIZNESS

Before super models

Ruled the earth

There were people.

Before idiots

Controlled

The government

There were wise men.

The future

Is now

The past.

Desolate faces

Ride subway trains & buses without

Hope. Hoping.

And politics

Has become

A children’s

Game.

While going down

On Madison Avenue

The persuaders,

Manipulators & Predators Worship

In churches

Of nothingness.

In churches

Of shit.

The media

Ignoring What is To come

And be.

Because it’s Bad for publicity

And bad

For business.

That these truths

Are self-evident.

That people

Are dying

Over oil reserves

In the Middle East.

That people

Are being denied

Their rights.

That No one has

The balls to

Stop the maniacs

Who’ve taken over

Our lives.

So just accept it.

Relax.

Buy a coke

And a smile.

As the lights

In your child’s

Eyes

Dim.

Fade.

And go out.
