Illusion of a democracy

The best that $ can buy

Turning would be

Individual

Spiritual masters

Into unwitting

Slaves of consumption

Lead by “competing”

Manufactured ideologies

Disperate religions

Hierarchical epidermises

With every tool

At everyone’s disposal

Words, pictures

Lights, sounds

Flashing lights

With sounds

Strung along like junkies

With no place to crash

Stimulated by

Sensational dullness

Mixed into a

Dizzying array

Of discombobulation

Only sorted out

In the end

After each

One’s purpose

Is served

Clearly marked

By gravestones

Here lies

Humanity
