On Dating Shows
By: Yue ****

It was the same kind of bidding affairs
Except, having little to none
The poorest of bidders
Gambled for the richest of prizes
Every factor monetary
Every monetary factor vital
Leaving no room for affections
Real Estates? Light up a few eager signs.
Automotive? Followed by some more.
Although only for the most luxury kinds.
And if there were cash, free to spend?
Then, yes, yes, yes.
Scream and cheer
Each and every hungry butcher!
Fighting for the fattest pieces of meat
But, comes the plain heart
with only love and compassion?
Only silence and darkness greet.
For when it comes to benefits
Who look for affections in a plate of beef.
