Material-less solace
Material-less solace
nothing so vulgar to consumerism giants
they preach with scorched smiles and grinning teeth
with embellished lies like blood red neck ties
true words perish on lips slick service
how do they sleep?
on beds of build by the meek
drugs made to artfully deceit
or drinks to drown conscious dreams to the ground
and what guises do they wear?
addiction, foreboding, heartfelt embrace
guarantees wrapped with red ribbon lace?
all carried out with gnarled fingers twisted around
bank books and black inked pens
they welcome us to their fictitious world
designed to soothe with coffee and booze
and bite of comfort foods
Yet under the veil, possible in the next room
they ready our windowless fluorescent tomb
