We live in a society of sanitized brutality.

Austerity increasing exponential wealth disparity, despairing for community. 

Who has put a price on life to ration out a tiny slice,

and grip us in their vice, disguised as moral order righteousness? 

Pretenders to the throne, to throw us only scraps and bones. 

The corporations profit all by raised invoice and taxes slashed,

Beyond the neon sign

The blind man saw with his heart so pure

                 what was blind to the sighted, so obscured

                            The razzle dazzle of our world so bright  

                                       Hides the truth from us all, in its blinding light

christmas is ridiculous

a frenzy of indoctrination 

sentimental propaganda

pressure to participate

unrealistic expectations

inculcated in the kids

We have trapped the world in windows,

Picture frames, mirrors vexed with vanity.

The wind blows slack.

Slates roll off rooves in protest.

Branches crack the panes,

Let me out, let me in.

The sun pierces film;

Shifts the night;

Joins forces with the plight

Of street lamps.

Bouncers rays the lasers from their shards,

Beat the rain like caged anima...

I know I’ve got a lot of stuff and no, I don’t need much more.

I know advertising’s full of guff and persuasion is what it’s for.

I know others needs are greater, but too often I forget

As I’m a self-berating splurger, oft wracked with deep regret.

No matter if you’re measuring in common, pounds or pence,

Too often it would seem that we have more money than sense.

I kno...
