To watch stores filled to the brink
with products and brands
which are rarely needed but to show
I have this or that -- hah!
As fashion it all comes and goes
a new model of the same
with few improvements
to stall and delay, to sell more
of things not needed
to an ever-hungry crowd who
doesn't really use it.
The bottomline of the poor
is so much was writ
of the bottom of society :
I don't recognize it,
they only want too much.
I was like that too.
It's the same products in
the stores
endless repeating rows
of designs
with the same functions.
Though for the poor and their priorities
too many wants,
yet all Holy scriptures contain
the same warnings
for payment and how it was obtained,
an honest hand offers
only what it has.
Working class goes
to a brothel ;
I went to a thrift
store instead.
But ye, i've seen the dolls in Armani suits
dressed up to ruin nations
with fancy lawyers and half-filled cups,
two-stop egg's in a basket
no morals, all lollipops and creditcards
a game of manipulating
the origami-folded accounting books
under the counter.
Theres hardly customers for it
I only wonder
how the economy of it works
then the thought
slips away because I don't
want to know.
I don't need these things
only my priorities :
My income never changed
but now I'm buried
in so many luxuries
and extravagances.
Confuse it not with the drugsters
and criminals either,
for they took an easy way out
for money and pleasure
but they run out of honesty
for they obtain it
by deceitfullness.
But ye, the state of the union worldwide
is les infants terrible -
an open-air prison for the sheeples
the silver linin' is fleecin'
it's all wool and sigils in your pockets
and i'm not impressed,
cuz' love has died and it ain't comin' back
too much moral hazard.
The only lesson is
Don't gamble or borrow
for interest rates
beats you into the dirt.
But In refusal poverty becomes poetry
which is spiritual force.
I need this and that, the rest
is of no concern
for neither too much or too little,
to make for existence
with depth.
The best customer service I ever had
was when I was ignored,
Because they're sales men, not experts
on sound and design
I simply found the product I needed
bought it and went home.
It was the most expensive
of the entire selection they had
but quality has a cost ;
There's overpriced brands but this
wasn't one of them,
