Consumerism

'I consume, therefore I exist' -

the consumerism

is a mist

covering the instincts of soul,

and concealing the motives which roll

like the words on my tongue

and smoke in my lungs.

'i buy, therefore I am' -

the anathema of this scheme

would have been a dream,

but a penniless mind is miserable

and no one will listen to its screams.

The omnipotent desire of wealth

is something

that can build or ruin your health,

but if sometimes you drink from poetic wells,

you get a link with the Supreme.

The consumerism

is an everlasting dream

of the mankind.

Parades and feasts,

Hollywood beasts,

advertising blocks,

shining locks of models' hair

that flow in despair

of a New Great Depression,

the desire to own and obtain

is a motive that will contain

our inability to skip this train.

We cannot refrain.
