01) ₮he moolah is the magic key that opens our society: people will do all you say, ev'rythin'll go your way.
02) €v'rybody worships dough, 'cause we all wanna run the show. Sick'ning greed without restraint, run the tre'dmill till you faint.
03) Дt the cashbox: five, six, sev'n, hurry up to make elev'n; a nickel & two pennies more - grab y'r bags, rush out the door.
04) ₮urn the tube on: more disasters! You're a puppet, they're the masters. If only you could save some green! You'd finally shake that nagging spleen.
05) Дn'mals crushed industrially, a fat cat for the pres'dency. Corrupted idiocr'cy! Ev'rything is vanity.
06) ₱eeps don't care 'bout one another, love comes only from your mother. The rich survive, lean 'n' mean, the darkest cashflows go unseen.
07) ₡ap'talism's quite immoral, but the scent you flaunt is floral; the world's real cold, cruel & vicious, but rare steak is so delicious!
08) ฿read & circ'ses keep you dumb, screens all 'round that make us numb; mindless glutt'ny fills your life, trapped inside this endless strife.
09) ฿uy now! Get rich! Look cool. Feel Great!! Advertrashment's our sad fate. Browse for brand-new stuff online: go, spend it all! You'll be just fine!
10) €arn a livin'! Play it fair! The irony: you'll get nowhere. To chase your dreams you cog away, each & ev'ry liv'long day.
11) ฿e good. Shut up. Just do the chore. Go to work & play the whore. A weekend out, a tiny flat; you'll always be a poor grey rat.
12) ₱ower, water, doctors, dinner, watch your bank account get thinner; "Visa, MasterCard or credit?" Cash flies eaz'ly if you let it.
13) ₮ax! Insurance! Gas! Phone! Rent! Cough up NOW or go get bent! They'll grope, they'll nab, they'll grip, they'll grab, till they've cleared out your whole tab.
14) €xpenses pile up way too high! Your reserves've all run dry! Fear now gets the best of you! Panickin's all you can do...
15) $leepless nights & gloomy days, calculatin' valid ways to crawl out this red pit you're in, & turn your loss 'round to a win.
16) ¥ou'll wonder then, when nothin's left: isn't "profit" merely theft? & If you don't believe that's true, le'me spell it out for you.
17) ₡an't prop up their cunning tricks? Then they'll cling to you like ticks & drain your wallet even more; you'll sink to poverty galore.
18) ¥ou'll be evicted from your space, replaced, erased, a broke disgrace, a homeless bum, a basket case; stray victim of our heartless race.
19) ₫own on the streets is where you'll live, sleep on a bench, beg folks to give their hard-earn'd coin away for naught; your image makes 'em all distraught.
20) ₥add'ning inequalities! A few buffs swim in boodle seas: for them the mass shall plod & sweat, while hope for change is absent yet.

Quote:
psilocybinmansions said: Silent and forcing, night drips through the sky, demons curdle in the fierce desert of the Earth's basement, transforming into thoughts of harm and remorse. Lit fuses mistake themselves for candles as the switchbox turns ninety degrees. Steady recurrences of static in the eye, like the old televisions - just a line. Leaves are tongues here, ensuring the air is taste tested. Why a perch for a bird? I perch on nonchanlantism. She doesn't seem to care? Coughing mixtures of what would steal the day on the ultimate heist, screaming salads, cracks and errs on the side of caution, speaking softly through a window because it's polite not to breathe someone else's air...
...And some eyecandy for you:

A poem I wrote myself a few years back.

I wrote my own thirty-paragraph essay on/complaint against spectacle society.
