Consumption by Consumption to Consume
March 31, 2017
The crazy rabble catching capital trouble,
Rouble or dollar, blue n white collar
Lean virulent servitudes; renascent slaves
Make trade beatitude
Postmodern blacks installed in racks, perfunctorily paraded
To a once-a-day-dance pistol shoot – The Wild Wild West!
High harvest home of honour high, accompt philosophy,
Heritor of garbled-massages of garbaged Christian kindness
True Troth turned out like empty trouser pockets;
Now - how to rob one’s neighbour
Great pack on back like Pilgrim, enters in the push
Towards an electric, Napoleonic, multiplex
Preceptors, drugged by fumes of branded things,
Gone singing forth applauding next technologies
Demotic mummers drunk on lyrics unstoppering only hype,
Jam ham, shambolic-seasoned, acolades; your topmost Oscars
Assurance of postures of impostors, fantasy tomorrows,
Flogging the daylights out of barrow pledges
Wearing out beggars’ half-cocked hopes; half-mast and keeling over,
Sunken on drunken beds, dead-heads the Feds de-liberated
With lives of lottery commodities as goods; sly Hoods
Keep hold the cash to shower as dower a crapulous pursuit
The one thing needful holidays its health in jeopardy
Amerikay that saint and quaint antient regime:
Its scheme to waste with every haste all sober measure
A nightmare dream that’s passed between in getting treasure
A Scylla overplussed with junk unbounded
And sharp Charybdis turned and loured the other side where crawls
An once to pounce, or whether suffered saintly
Sense yet sustains, goes spare, or insurrection
Proves argument against full gas balloon despair
Chaotic looms the landfill USA; uphung on swanny leisures
Seated at fat and clowny sets, stare wearing donkeys’ ears
Eating and watching, abiding, clutched, by ticking time that feathers
Forever away existence
Castelar captives shares of loot fill simple houses
Palatial dungeons steeped in legion creature comfort
As if coralled pet animals; overgrown woody vegetables
Root into concrete soils whiles boils the world away
A saucepan left on hob, its stealthy quiet job
Unfolding scalds unseen, turning from green, replaced foreseen,
To ochre wastes a world made carnage fritters.
As this, is conjunct verity for all that glitters,
It must proclaim the dooms, destructions, lust delivers
